I thought that after 2016, I no longer do. It's the reverse. Maybe "evil" is a strong word but they are definitely what I would consider "bad people" based on their extreme selfishness. Most pretend to be ignorant, or "low information" in person but they follow news very closely.
- insane_dreamer 2y agoAgreed. The 2016 were self-serving grifters that didn’t understand the mechanisms of government and were mostly bumbling around. The 2024 team are also self-serving grifters but have a much more coherent plan to shape things to their liking and much smarter people in play. Miller - arguably one of the smartest but also someone to whom the “evil” label perhaps best applies - plays a much bigger role this time around.

- IAmGraydon 2y agoOne lesson I've learned in my life is that evil is just another word for extreme selfishness.
