I think you’re missing that we are being deeply manipulated by hoards of foreign influence campaigns. Social media has exploded propaganda in the US and divided the population. Some of this propaganda also comes from internal sources.

Haha!!! Sadly, I think our domestic stupidity is more than adequate to explain the situation. I’d love to blame the boogyman here, but let’s face it – we’re #1 in stupidity and self-owns.

Something similar happened to us in the Philippines. There was a huge propaganda and disinformation campaign on Facebook by the Marcos family (rumored to have partnered with Cambridge Analytica). Which led to people falsely thinking that Marcos I’s regime was a golden age, and now we have his son as president.
