It’s a lot easier to blame anything else over accepting that a significant majority of the US (and probably the world) are either profound dullards or literal fascists.
People, on the whole, are awful.

Every day, I find that I am more disappointed and angry with the general populace. I get that they were propagandized and shit from birth. But like... So was I. And yet I somehow got a conscience and eyeballs to read.
People are just so incredibly lazy.
I don't see why you can't say the people wanted this AND most of the medias these days are oligarchs propagandas tools at the same time.
Perhaps some do, but I refuse to believe the majority want a king or dictator. It's far more believable that a lot of voters were/are naive and really don't like how things were going, rightly or wrongly. They then unsurprisingly ignored the candidate who said everything is fine, you're the problem, and instead voted for the candidate who said you're not the problem, the problem is all this scary stuff on fox news and only I can fix it.
Asked for a king, got a pedophile
