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.
