Jesus Christ on a cracker! “Panama canal should’ve never been built”, “economic security”. How, HOW, did this sundowner retirement home escapee convince people, so many people, to vote for him?

It's because far more people than you realized are within the goldilocks zone of the necessary ratios of ignorant/selfish/hateful to allow or even wish for someone exactly like this.

It's a fucking depressing realization. Ask me how I know.
