Trump was the perfect storm. Everybody that held some form of bigotry could see themselves in him. Because how could he be a bad person if they weren’t a bad person.

Because so many Americans hate America and what it stands for. They hate anyone who isn't like them, and they like that it bothers you. They enjoy your frustration and your confusion, because it gives them a feeling of power they would otherwise never experience on their own merits.
The republicans have a very robust propaganda machine. They digested and reframed it very quickly.
The only reason a sizable chunk of the country wasn't there partaking would have been the cost of travel and time.
A Trump voter from 2016 told me that he thought of Trump as a brick he was throwing at the window of The System. He started from the position that the system is broken and needs to be torn down before anything can be improved. I think that’s pretty stupid logic - people routinely underestimate the importance of incremental improvement.
But that’s what the thinking is anyway. The more we hate Trump the happier they are. He exists to knock our teeth out, personally if need be, but more importantly, collectively, as a system. Taking a shit on the floor of Congress? That’s all in the game.

...me, neither...
Many conservatives have convinced themselves that the 6th was a false flag operation by the libtards. For "reasons"
This is the one I've heard. By my own father, no less. I had no idea how to respond to it.
Someone once said, "You can't reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into." Something along those lines, anyways. That expression has saved me from many a pointless argument.

Voters are just lazy and stupid.
Voters saw January 6th and were like "I'm gonna stay home because voting doesn't matter or I'm too busy and lazy to defend rights and democracy".
Voters also see Trump and are so stupid to think that he was gonna make their economic life better. SleePy JoE diD tHaT! jOeVeR
Single Issue voters are just absolutely f**king stupid.
Media also sanewashed RFK and Trump again. The cult will always vote for their candidate. The normal people need a "reason" to take action. People love blaming Kamala for not beating the "oh-so-easy" Trump but they wouldn't move their worthless asses to vote anyways.
