It plays a role though. The right wing has been lying for decades and making up their own version of the world and a lot of people have bought into that such that we now have a dangerous clown as US president (and they still think he's great).
- palmotea 1y ago> we now have a dangerous clown as US president And what does it say about Democrats that Americans rejected them to chose a "dangerous clown" instead?
- ImPostingOnHN 1y agothe real question is: what does that say about humans in general (since we see this pattern repeated recently in a few other countries), particularly when stressed? it turns out, a few thousand years of civilization isn't enough to evolve significant growth in the prefrontal cortex or atrophy in the lizard-brain, so to speak we're not much more rational than cavemen, and thus biologically as likely as them to break stuff when angry or be fooled by those who promise salvation unfortunately, some seek to exploit those vulnerabilities: making the promises; feeding the anger; manufacturing stress & FUD to decrease decision quality
- locopati 1y agoi think it says a lot more about the American citizenry. they'd rather burn it all down or hate their fellow citizens than whatever they did have.
