As with other commenters, I can't disagree with your overall assessment. However, it's the end result of years of GOP/Fox/Limbaugh programming of a poorly-educated and beaten down middle class that just doesn't want to think. They can believe in completely contradictory ideas--as in Biden is *not* the President, Trump *is really running* the government, but things are bad because of ... Biden, QED. Whatever. They are a thoughtless, scared selfish mob that wants their Social Security and Medicare but doesn't want to give the same "free" things to anyone who's not a white Christian. Unfortunately, there is too much effin' money to be made by psychopathic grifters scamming these people so they'll continue to send their checks to Trump, Inc. as long as they get a good show.
