He really wasn't. As more offline people found out who he was, it quickly became clear that most people found him repulsive.

With Trump, people either idolize or loath him. With Charlie Kirk, people either kinda like him or loath him. There's a significant difference.

Experts often say that Trump is somehow unique, but I've never understood that idea. If anything, he seems far less impressive to me than a typical politician, due to his constantly broadcasting his low intelligence.

Anyways, I hope he is unique, since he's old and unhealthy. He'll personally be out of our hair pretty soon.

His low intelligence is the reason so many people love him. Well, not that specifically, but because he talks in a way they understand. The same way they talk. Combined with the belief that being rich (even if it's a farce) must inherently mean someone knows what they are doing, and you get where we are now.

Trump: "nothing bad can happen, it can only good happen"

Conservatives: "this is the most intelligent man alive"

Everyone else: please stop fucking children!

Conservatives: ...well...
