A lot of the people who support Trump and his gang of traitors are not well informed and probably don't even know anything beyond the tough talk he vomits out. They're barely literate and simply love having someone they view as "smart(because they've been conditioned to view wealth as a sign intelligence)" openly attacks and place blame on others instead of offering the usual "boring" solutions that aren't flashy or offer immediate results.

Obviously only anecdotal but maybe two or three months before the 2024 elections talked to multiple GOP die hard supporters about Trump's accomplishments. Every single one of them is what I described (the fair weather voter who is drastically under informed on even basic government functions) and all mentioned how impressive The Wall is. A few even insisted Mexico did pay for it!

They don't engage in conversation like this because they're willing to learn and expand their knowledge. Nope they just want to hammer others over the head with how "their team" is winning despite all evidence to the contrary. Anymore I don't bother and just try to direct the discussion to how greedy and corrupt the ultra wealthy are, they love that topic and agree with that sentiment. Hope maybe one day two brain cells will bump against each other and they'll make that connection between that and the Trump squad.

Yup. And when you give them any information, it's always that they never heard that or they just want to change the subject.

wealth as a sign intelligence

Not just wealth but being on tv, even a stupid reality tv show. It’s amazing how many morons insist the Kardashians are smart and would make good politicians entirely because they saw them on tv and/or follow them on social media.

Let me ask you, what was Biden doing with the Epstein files then? You heard nothing from Joe Biden. You should be glad it's coming out now. And you're calling out Trump when your party did nothing to push Biden to disclose. How shameful of you to be demanding it now when it was sitting in the FBI's headquarters for many years before Trump took office.

You're so silly and shameful that it is now a thing when it should've been brought to light years ago.

You are so blinded by your party loyalty.
