Many voters supporting the former president also rated him as more truthful than their own friends and family

    It’s because they are literal fascists.

    Yeah, I’ve said it a bunch of times. Gonna keep saying it, because it’s true.

    Because he’s the only candidate who has expressly promises to make the lives of people they hate worse

    Of course, that means their own lives will be worse, but they’re not smart

    Despite Trump’s countless lies, 71 percent of Trump voters believe he is a source of “true” information, beating even their own friends and family, who ranked second with 63 percent.

    We have a term for this in English. It’s called a cult.

      It was always weird to me how cults worked even with people’s friends and family saying otherwise. But here it is.

    It’s because he’s making himself out to be a martyr who is challenging a corrupt system, which is why “the system” doesn’t like him and is trying to steal what is rightfully his.

    See? He’s the one fighting the true corruption!!

    Honestly, anyone who still buys into this shit at this point is dead to me.
