Yes but Trump, Musk, Thiel, and other billionaires will get a little bit richer and all they had to do was tell a bunch of stupid fucking yokels that it's okay to be bigoted trash.
You all still don't get it.
It's not that people were convinced they'd get richer. It's that they've gotten significantly poorer over the last four years while Dems were in charge.
How are "Dems in charge" when Republicans have had a majority in both Congress and the Supreme Court for years now? For half the time there was also a Republican President.
It is crazy to me that when the GOP essentially ran the government and still did absolutely nothing for this country and didn't follow through on anything they blamed the "deep state" and people still bought into it.
