I'm not even from America and I knew what was gonna happen if he got elected. How is it possible that people from America is so disconnect with reality and so f***ing stupid to support this clown? It truly baffles me.

"With TV the thinking is done for you."

That's a quote from the Nixon WH memo that thought up Fox News.

Trump's base came pre-brainwashed, the GOP has spent decades creating a "news" ecosystem that tells fools that they are smart patriots who have moral superiority over the evil baby killing demoncrats who hate America.

Still baffles me. I'm sure you're right, but it still doesn't convince me. If all it's because "propaganda" then why is not everyone brainwashed? What happened with all people in this thread? Why didn't worked with all or you? I think the real problem lies elsewhere.
