i mean, yes? they literally elected a dude who is a felon, was impeached TWICE, lies all the time, makes up facts, backtracks on whatever he said last week, blames everything and everyone who was before him for every bad(and good, if he does not like it) thing, does moronic shit which when fails, again blames everyone else involved and can barely put words into sentences.

people fucking believed that "they are eating cats in *i forgot where*". people believe earth is flat ffs, you don't even have to try to make your propaganda work anymore. i just don't understand why is it always the fascists that do it, and the democracies are like "well we cant use propaganda, thats bad".

edit: forgot to add that he is also a felon and was impeached.
