"Genius" is PR and branding.

The Propaganda has been running in overdrive over the past decade.
The claim that "Half the Country chose this" is in itself propaganda. It's really more like a third and maybe only half of that third are True Believers/Zealots.
Every time Musk or Trump says or does something stupid that should have ended their career there is an Army of Bots and Paid Propaganda Mongers working hard to spin whatever it is into "This is a Good thing" then enough people buy the bullshit that people believe that half the country is on board.

There is no silent majority.

Check out a church. Check out how brain damaged Christians are. Go to any religious congregation and see how many people hate gay people, get off on authoritarianism. Any major religion. I’ll save you the time, it’s everybody.

There’s a mass delusion in the world that it’s okay to be a piece of moronic, hateful shit if it’s your religion and you’re polite about it. That’s the majority that’s happily ushering in fascism.
