There are a lot of Americans who are learning American politics against their will at the moment too(their ignorance seems willful and self-imposed in many instances); hopefully enough of them to not support the insanity in the future.
"But Trump said he would help union jobs"
"But they were just supposed to go after the bad minorities, not my group"
"But tarrifs don't raise prices for Americans, they promised"
"But why can we pay $50k sign on bonuses for ICE but not fund education or healthcare?"
"But that's against the law, I thought they supported the 2nd amendment?"
"But they're being violent toward white people too, I thought my group was safe"
"But they said they hated paedophiles and wanted to punish them and that they would release the Epstein files"
"But Trump said he would end the Ukraine war in 24 hours"
"Why can't I get vaccinated and get my kid vaccinated in some states?"
"But they defunded my X when they said they were only going to defund Y"
"But that hurts my business, I bought their line that..."
"Well I thought they were just going to take away abortions from and track poor, minority group women from having abortions, my case is different"
"Why is my USD currency value crashing? Why are the trump coin crypto I bought not able to be sold, Trump has discretion on the lockup period and gets to decide who sells and when?
"Why do billionaires seem to be doing really well and at lots of events with the administration and everyone else doesn't seem very happy?
But laws shouldn't be used only against certain people, don't they apply to everyone in a system where money equals power?

"You can't trust politicians, they all lie!"
"I trust Trump with my life, he's going to fix this country."
These are the same person.
