  2. I know these people are completely off the rails, but we also need to take a moment to realise just how bad politics has become to allow this sort of thing to happen. I'm in my 50s and all I have heard for the last 5 decades is how much politicians LIE and CHEAT. That's been backed up by scandal after scandal. Its not an American thing either its been going on in every developed country. I'm Australian and we've had so many scandals we've lost count. Meanwhile it hasn't mattered who's in power they suck up to the oligarchs and screw the rest of us. There was the Rand Corporation report into wages a couple of years ago that highlighted how the Top 1% had made almost $50 Trillion (with a 'T') dollars. Just recently in September 2022 the US Congressional Budget Office did a report on Family Wealth that shows that 1/2 of America is still to recover from the 2008 GFC while the Top 10% have made in excess of $30 Trillion (with a 'T'). Both those reports are about America but the trends they detail are being played out everywhere. No matter who wins the any election they do the same things to the general population because they are backed by the same oligarchs. On top of that there's the genuine threat of Climate Change and I suspect that most of the deniers are deniers because they just don't want another thing to deal with. Nothing excuses these people flocking towards such an obvious fraud as Donald Trump, BUT THE REST OF US need to acknowledge that these people had been beaten down by hopeless political leadership that delivers nothing for so long that it left them vulnerable to the narcissistic nonsense of a person like Trump.
