Question: Why are many people under the impression that Trump and the awful things heâs doing are popular, even though theyâre not? Answer: America is still a mostly free country where dissent against Trumpâs dictatorial ambitions is widespread, but media keeps making it appear as if itâs not.

Several of my neighbors voted for Trump. If I said to them "he's deploying troops to US cities & unleashing polio & measles on the country & deporting people to foreign gulags & allowing millions of people to die of AIDS in Africa and raking in billions in crypto pay offs" they'd think *I* was nuts.
