It's not that simple there are a lot of layers. The rejection of reality, family, and fighting against their own self interest. It's cult-like behavior and nearly incomprehensible for someone who sticks to reality. And that appears to be the desired outcome.

I'm not a partisan or member of any party. I am American and concerned for our country. The guy who won tried to other throw democracy and hasn't ever admit defeat. I strongly believe there's a good chance Trump or JD Vance will be the last American president.

  • I wish somebody would build a platform where people can actually put their money on these things like the Simon–Ehrlich wager [1]. I'd happily be putting down £100 with internet randos that (absent a nuclear war) presidential elections will happen in the usual fashion in 2028, or that Trump won't serve more than 2 terms.

    • Trump won't live that long. He's ancient and very unhealthy. It's unlikely he lives to 2028. They reject democracy when if they lose as shown in 2020. elections will occur. Will they be free and fair? No.
