Exactly! 💪 As long as their messiah is locking up and punishing everyone that's been scapegoated, his supporters will be content, even when their own circumstances are worse. The entire misinformation and conspiracy theory driven campaign, which also demonizes science and education, is a perfect way to weaponize ignorance and stupidity. Energizing America's most bitter, racist, xenophobic, homophobic citizens, (who are often too lazy to challenge and verify opinions they're comfortable with) was possibly what got this monster elected in the first place. No need to over-exert their brains when a strongman is happy to guide their thinking. Most were permanently damaged by the big lie, and will go to their graves believing the 2020 presidential election was stolen.
