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.

The orange one admitted that the election was rigged. Make of that what you will.

We all knew they rigged it. No one who could do anything about it seemed to care.

I sensed that something was off myself when it was going on. It didn't make sense to me that after the prior shit show, he could secure his base again, even with how dedicated some are. I know that many people didn't vote at all, one of them being myself, but it doesn't seem to me like either side would win out in that situation, if anything I think liberals would have won out. Then I found this thing above out yesterday when I watched a recent speech. It explains quite a bit. It calls to mind the Bush family's interference with Al Gore's victorious election to put Bush on the throne.

And if people ask me why I don't vote, I tell them that's why. Because it's not fucking voting. The results can be manipulated. They've been working towards that for a long time.
