Because sadly, the attitudes and views of people making up Jan 6 are shared by a large proportion of the US population, even if they would not have participated given the means/opportunity.
Jan 6 is viewed by them with analogous sentiment to how the left views civil disobedience for civil rights movements, regardless of the substance/justice of the event.
Because American anti-democracy people envisioned themselves as the pro-democracy HK protestors who stromed the LegCo Building.
I was working the day of j6 and I will never forget all of my coworkers watching it and fully cheering like it was the Super Bowl.
See this is why I think the US missed a revolution somewhere after WWII.
Boy am I glad I didn't have that going on.. that would've been problematic.
Because you don't understand the American voter, but Trump does.
So, given the mounting evidence for vote manipulation, I can't believe that anymore.
10mo ago, I would have agreed though.
He defeated every Republican rival and took control of the GOP through the voters. Even if he cheated, which he did, him having support of even 40% still proves he understands the American voter in a way few do.
I'm not sure. You may be giving him credit that belongs to Roger Stone, but in essence I don't think you're wrong about the zeitgeist that he's latched onto.
I guess in all likelihood, it's that, plus the cheating, and without both he wouldn't have won.
It all feels very inorganic to me though. Astroturfed, especially this second time.
It doesn't matter though. Probably the last president.
Decades of propaganda and large regions of our nation with inadequate public education.
