Or the making fun of the disabled news reporter. Or the not renting to black people, or the using a charity as his personal piggy bank. I'm sure the list goes on and on
Or trying to have 5 young brown children executed for a crime they were later proven to have not committed.
Honestly the racism I (sadly) understand. But to see the support for him not only continue but increase after violently trying to overthrow the government was truly a shock. For a brief moment it looked like he lost the support of Mitch McConnell and Lindsay Graham among other "traditional" Republicans but within days it was back to business as usual.

Of course everybody with two functioning brain cells knew from the start that this fucker is spectacularly unqualified. But when this came out, it was very plain to see for everybody that all the values "conservatives" claimed to stand for meant absolutely nothing to him.
I've repeated this many times.
After the 'pussy' tape came out, a Conservative woman went on The View TV show to defend Trump. One of the other women on the panel kept repeating 'pussy' over and over. Finally the Conservative woman demand that the other panelist stop using that vulgar term.
Or claiming Veterans who were killed or were captured were losers. I thought Americans were proud of their armed forces.
I disagree (with the title but agree with you the post), Jan 6th should truly be the dealbreaker. Why? Cause it’s not even politics, it’s simple rules of games.
If you can’t accept when you lose, you don’t get to play anymore.
They had 4 years to jail him over treason and they didn’t. I said it before and I’ll say it again, Biden should have jailed him for Jan 6th.
Biden should have had him and the rest of the isurrectionists executed for trying to overthrow throw democracy. Jailing them just changes their platform for inciting rebellion.
All the trumpers would have risen up to do violence, but fuck it: execute them, too.
The only reason the Jan 6th rioters got in the Capitol is because Donald Trump specifically chose not to call in the National Guard to protect the Capitol. If MAGA had attempted a second insurrection when Trump was jailed and Biden was in office, they wouldn't have gotten anywhere.
This is the kinda stuff I laughed about pre-last election when MAGA was calling for civil war if Kamala won. It's not funny now, but the truth remains. An outright seizure of the Capitol/White House/SCotUS is nigh impossible unless our leader wants it. Now, the Jan 6th crowd was exceptionally stupid in not even being able to navigate the Capitol floor; but navigation abilities won't matter when you get gunned down approaching the entrance.

I'll never understand how Biden just let that go. He should have made it impossible for Trump or any of the other criminals from the previous administration to participate in politics again.
A legacy of cordiality and decorum that allowed fascism back in.
If I were Biden, locking all those traitors up would have been priority number one. Had they done that, the world would be a much better place.

Why would people think it was a big deal when the entire news media played it down, and then the guy who did it was allowed to run for the highest political office again.
Yup, the Republican party allowed Trump to go after the nomination, and his Republican opponents in the primaries never brought Jan 6 up for the disgusting act it was. Instead they all protected Trump by repeating the Big Lie.
Imagine Fox News right now, if Jan 6 had been Democrats and Obama. Seriously, they would be screaming for the dismantling of the Democratic party.
And that's the difference, the Left has NOTHING like Fox News and Newsmax, MSNBC doesn't even get CLOSE.

i noticed its coordinated with right wing influencers/grifters also downplayed or dint bother discussing the insurrection. its not by accident its all coordinated through troll farms.
Because, for his supporters, anything but them getting their own way is an injustice.
He's the narcissist's hero.

I don't understand why AIPAC, Citizens United, exorbitant health care and education costs, tax rates for the rich, slavery in prisons, and every other goddamned ridiculous thing that other first world countries don't have wasn't a deal breaker.

Look, all you have to do is accept my one and only axiom: Most people on this planet are total and absolute idiots.

There are Americans that believe Trump has never lied. Like ever. About anything. He is truth. Some Americans actually believe this.
So they have no capacity to think logically, not even a tiny bit? Or do they just have no capacity in remembering stuff?
They don’t want to think. At all. Just listen to what they’re told by fox or Facebook and get comfort in hating some group(s) “ worse than them “ while they believe they’re better than most people. They’re fully delusional.

Mine was George Floyd. When I saw so many people stand up and say that man deserved death over a bounced check I knew they lost their damn mind.

"those people are ignorant"
-My conservative mother, pretending Trump didn't work tirelessly for years enraging them, tell them to do exactly what they did, and then gleefully watch for 2 hours while they did it.
In other words, she thinks trump had nothing to do with it, as laughable as that is.
Perception is reality.
Control news, social media, and church and you can distort/gaslight reality.
Only the better educated can sometimes see through bullshit.
The second I saw he was running the first time, I knew it was going to be a disaster. Maybe I couldn't appreciate just how much of a disaster it would be though
January 6 gave the Nazis hope and basically exposed how easy it is to topple the government if they have law enforcement on their side.
Until my final breath I'll never understand how George W. Bush wasn't a dealbreaker for every future Republican president. And then they voted for Trump of all people.
Like that's it. We humans have failed evolution.
He kind of was in a way. The 2016 primary featured a dozen Bush wannabes, and Trump just went on stage and embarrassed them all by pointing out all the things they did horribly wrong (war, healthcare, etc), he correctly identified what made Republicans unelectable nationally. People related to that anger.

Propaganda
Fox news Oann Newsmax
All propaganda channels that literally only publish lies. Fox news sued (and won) for the right to call itself a news channel yet lie their asses off without any legal problems
I'm just amazed that nobody saw this coming since at least 2-3 decades ago

It's because the Democrats didn't inflict any consequences on Republicans and used the "let's look to the future and not dwell on the past" framing on it. How can you blame voters for not taking it seriously if Democrats didn't?
You're speaking of long after Jan 6th occurred. The OP post is talking about on that day. As in, "how did those that would actually stand to benefit become willing to benefit at the cost of following the rule of law?" The disappointing answer is that those performing the insurrection on Jan 6th, as well as those that would stand to gain, are more concerned with being in power rather than respecting justice and the rule of law.

I understand it.
People are paying 30% more to live now than they did before. No one cares about a person's politics if they claim they'll put food on your table.
This chart is the whole story. Unfortunately people don't understand how the economy lags behind everything and Trumps recent actions are going to make the surge from COVID checks look like a blip.
It didn't lag behind for the rich.
It only lagged behind for the poor.
For four years, and Biden had all the power he needed to make real change for the poor, as evidenced by the last ten months.
There’s no one in the party that knows how to fix any of the problems they continue to create. Like forgiving college loans, but not changing the incentives to raise college prices. They could have allowed student loans to default, anything really. No one’s suggesting real change, just hand outs and corporate marauding.
The voting base went right along with this, “ ya forgive my loan, but leave the exploitative system for my children. “ that’s politics, fix my immediate grievances and pay no mind to the future or bad structures we build

Well the answer to "why did people still support Trump after Jan 6th" is actually "Jan 6th."
Those people that came to DC and walked to the Capitol and stormed out are Americans who were a) pissed off and b) willing and able to travel and march and attack on behalf of Trump.
That's not nothing in terms of power and influence. And it's indicative of a BUNCH of people who met condition (a) but not (b). Like probably an order of magnitude or more.
Since no Republican stepped up to steal those supporters from Trump by pointing out how absolutely un-American Jan 6th was, they stayed loyal to him. So the politicians followed, the owners followed, and the media followed.

Because human brains are more frail than we think they are, and propaganda works amazingly well.
The current president is a culmination .... a celebration ... of the general dumbing down of the American public.
They spent the past 50 years just generally deluding themselves to the point where stupidity, complacency and ignorance is just celebrated and rewarded.
It's a nation of idiots .... a nation of idiots with nuclear weapons.
Because so many people genuinely believe the election was stolen. It bewilders me

Simple. Back then were still naive enough to believe that there would be justice served.
