So much of American politics is pure theatrical bullshit and politicians get away with ridiculous behavior because the American people are, as a whole, mind bogglingly stupid.

TBH one of the stupidest things politicians believe is that earnest, honest campaigning would win in an age of social media bubbles and extremely complex issues.

Trump screws up so much in his campaigns, and I find it amusing that everyone is scratching their heads trying to figure out how this helped him... It didn't. He won in spite of beint a terrible candidate running a shitstorm campaign because he's populist, and he didn't campaign like its the 1950s.

You want to win, you have to lie through your teeth and pander enough to make an influencer blush, and Democrats are going to keep losing till they figure that out.
