    There is one thing, for sure, that the MAGA crowd is incapable of understanding and it is nuance.

    I'm not a smart man. I'm average at best. But, I simply don't understand how someone can look at this man and not see that he, and his supporters, are the enemies of the American people. It is simply beyond my ability as a writer and orator to explain that.

    They know they're not bad people.

    To support an enemy of democracy would be a bad thing that a bad person would do.

    They support Trump, and are good people, therefore he can't be an enemy of democracy.

    I suggest that you read The True Believer by Eric Hoffer. I re-read it during the 2016 election cycle and I might as well have been reading a newspaper for how well it predicted Trump's rise to power. In short, he gave them an excuse to blame their "failures" (in the sense that they wanted to be X, but wound up being Y) on someone other than themselves or ideas that they supported.

    Everyone thinks they are good people and doing good things and supporting other good people.

    The problem is that the political parties control what the media presents as "truth". both sides can be ... seen as true depending on how it's presented. This is why I questioned everything I believed and everything I was reading over the last 4 years. How do I know my "side" is correct. That's what led me to the media bias chart.

    This is why what @Elwood said is true. How can trump's supporters not see he and his supporters are enemies of America and everything it stands for.

    Conservatives broke the "lock bad people up" machine.

    Wait so what he’s saying is that he’d be totally fine with Kamala overturning the results of the next election.

    By the time you posted this, Trump & Co. will no doubt have moved on to some other lie.

    Unfortunately, the way this will probably end up is:

    During periods of Republican control, Republicans grant themselves the power to overturn the next election.

    During (the increasingly more rare) periods of Democratic control, Democrats take that power away from themselves.
