    Don’t forget that Trump is now a convicted rapist, as confirmed by the judge in his E Jean Carroll case. Close to half of the US population is willing to vote for a convicted rapist. Now tell me democracy is not in peril in the United States with a straight face.

      The problem is they’ve lost touch with reality. They refuse to believe anything that paints “their side” in a bad light and instead choose to believe in vast conspiracies to frame everyone. To their world view there’s a cabal of rich powerful liberals that control all media and government departments around the world and they’re constantly working to frame or eliminate conservatives.

      They literally don’t believe Trump has ever done anything wrong in his life and that everything he has been accused or even convicted of is fake. Any reports even suggesting his involvement in anything negative are fake and part of the massive conspiracy.

      There’s literally no way to reason with them as they can simply choose to ignore anything they don’t like and chalk it up to the “liberal conspiracy” probably while muttering something about George Soros and Bill Gates.

      Sure the people they’re voting for aren’t very good at all. But in their minds they’re better than adrenochrome vampires. The problem is most of them have no contact with reality. And nothing will sway their minds once they’ve been made up. Literally made up
