Nah, it’s just your average old demented asshole brain, nothing to see there

It’s much more interesting to figure out why it is that so many people look at him and think “well he is a great guy!”, then vote for him and think “well this is a great idea!”

Even though we already know why, it’s a combination of low education which had been formed by Republicans over the period of decades, entire generations, and a constant stream of legalized propaganda lies from the minds of fox, newswax, etc.

Hell, I had a comic as a little kid, 40 years ago, that taught dutch and world history (very recommendable, it’s super funny and taught me a lot) and I still remember the panel mentioning that each subsequent IS president was more the result of an popularity contest than being an actual good presidential candidate and that as a result the last few US presidents haven’t been the smartest one. That was talking about all up to Reagan.

So unfortunately, we know why we are here, it’s just now interesting to figure out how we got here without anyone going “wtf, why is any of this normal and how is it that nobody tried to stop this?” I already saw at bush II that each subsequent Republican presidential candidate was worse, then you had the one with that Alaskan woman who was mildly tardy and I knew that the next one would be a horror show, then the Cheeto came in. I didn’t know it would be te Cheeto, but I fully expected he level of idiocy and I wasn’t wrong.

Hell, when I was a kid, 40 years ago, Iused to have a comic that would teach dutch and world history (highly recommend, “van nul tot nu”, super funny and educational). I still remember the panel talking about how the past few US presidents were more the result of a popularity contest and that, as a result, the last few were not the smartest ones. That was talking about up to Reagan and it kept going down hill.
