I think people are so hungry for a glimmer of light, we will glom onto anything that gives us a ray of hope.
I was kinda liking some of the things he was saying...not that I would consider him Prez material. I only became aware of him recently, but as soon as someone on FR posted a negative tweet of his regarding President Trump after Jan 6, that was it. It told me what I needed to know. He’s swampy. I don’t care if people criticize Trump over substance. I don’t worship him, and I understand where he is weak. But when you join the lying Dems, that’s it for me. I really can’t trust you after that. I’m forever tainted and sensitive against anyone with even a whiff of swamp on them.
No doubt about it. I was just talking to my sister and she actually wants to believe in this guy, because he's saying the things she's desperate to hear. I just said "most things that appear too good to be true, usually are" because she doesn't understand all the politics at work here, or even care to know that level of detail. She just wants an easy out, like most people.
But I think America was traumatized by the Covid ordeal, and the Election/J6 fiascos in 2020. A lot of people are still shell shocked from it all, and suffered PTSD type symptoms. Expect it to continue. They are trying to rattle the foundations of America as quickly and as hard as they can, to continue this mental tortue, trying to push us to break. To the point we'll look towards politicians as our saviors. At that point, they can completely push us over the edge.
Question everything, in response, is the best advice I can give.
