    This actually makes a bizarre sense to me, well actually not sense but I guess I’m not surprised. In his first term, many Trump supporters said they would either vote for him or Bernie Sanders. I was like WTF? So I interpreted this as people not wanting a “normal politician.” Hilary was a normal politician so big surprise she lost (also she was unlikeable).

    I think many other MAGA (and right wingers)are so stupid, they don’t know when they are being trolled. I heard a lot of people thought Stephen Colbert was serious instead of parodying. And strangely I saw a guy do an informal poll at, I think it was a state fair or something, and many self identifying right wingers and left wingers actually agreed on a lot of the problems (rich people running the world, affordability crisis, privacy issues, etc.) They just didn’t agree on which side had the solution. Personally I can see where someone might be duped at the beginning or just superficially, like maybe they just don’t watch the news much and catch a snippet of what a friend it family member says and going with right wing conservatives. But how anyone who takes the slightest interest can’t immediately see issues is beyond me.
