It's also been 6 years of a concerted effort to sway their opinion towards the fringe through bad actors slowly and methodically moving the goalposts.
Some are in the deep end, but many are just blindly following like sheep because they're too busy simply trying to get by. They're not evil by nature, they're just stupid and have been weaponized. There needs to be work to bring them back in a manner that doesn't scare or shame them.
