I have absolutely no idea why so many people still support these clowns.

[–] SreudianFlip@sh.itjust.works 28 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Massive lying campaigns with no accountability.

People who want simple clear answers.

Amygdaloids who comprise about 20% of any population and are driven by various flavours of fear.

People who believe success like wealth or fame is evidence of merit.

People who believe that social hierarchies are necessary and immutable in some ways.

People who want simple clear answers.

I'm constantly reminded of this quote:

For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong.
