    There are a lot of Americans who are learning American politics against their will at the moment too(their ignorance seems willful and self-imposed in many instances); hopefully enough of them to not support the insanity in the future.

    • “But Trump said he would help union jobs”

    • “But they were just supposed to go after the bad minorities, not my group”

    • “But tarrifs don’t raise prices for Americans, they promised”

    • “But why can we pay $50k sign on bonuses for ICE but not fund education or healthcare?”

    • “But that’s against the law, I thought they supported the 2nd amendment?”

    • “But they’re being violent toward white people too, I thought my group was safe”

    • “But they said they hated paedophiles and wanted to punish them and that they would release the Epstein files”

    • “But Trump said he would end the Ukraine war in 24 hours”

    • “Why can’t I get vaccinated and get my kid vaccinated in some states?”

    • “But they defunded my X when they said they were only going to defund Y”

    • “But that hurts my business, I bought their line that…”

    • “Well I thought they were just going to take away abortions from and track poor, minority group women from having abortions, my case is different”

    • "Why is my USD currency value crashing? Why are the trump coin crypto I bought not able to be sold, Trump has discretion on the lockup period and gets to decide who sells and when?

    • "Why do billionaires seem to be doing really well and at lots of events with the administration and everyone else doesn’t seem very happy?

    • But laws shouldn’t be used only against certain people, don’t they apply to everyone in a system where money equals power?

      “You can’t trust politicians, they all lie!”

      “I trust Trump with my life, he’s going to fix this country.”

      These are the same person.
