That doesn't mean they're off the hook, Stephen. We have 50+ years of documentation that shows Trump is a wretched piece of filth. If these people are ignorant to those facts, that's because they're choosing to be so. My own theory is they support Trump just to piss people off and they don't care about the danger that he poses to our national and global security.

In my opinion, you're underestimating how effective Trump and his media allies have been at discrediting what they call the mainstream media. If its in the New York Times, its false.

Oh, I don't underestimate it at all, Lewis. I simply people that these people want to be lied to because that way, they're not responsible for their choices. Keep in mind that Trump's more egregious public moments -- like calling for Mark Milley's execution, or the termination of the Constitution -- happened on Truth Social and is part of the public record. Has he lost any support for those comments amongst the base?

Trumpler and media allies think American people are stupid - information-challenged, prone to conspiracy theories, easily manipulated, having cultish behavior.

Hmm, what to do about it as reach the edge of cliff, after watching our democracy slip away one day at a time for 8+ years...?

And remember: The Economist is a BRITISH "newspaper" in magazine form that appears weekly. Their "Leader" (editorial) this week is also much more detailed than either TFG or any of his lemmings could read or understand. It is written for those who think about things.

And, I think that because all they know/have experienced is America as a democracy/republic/whatever, because it appears to be stable, they think it is a feature of nature and can not change. And even if tRump gets back in, with all the attendant slime and freaks, that everything will just keep merrily going along.
