Not falling so much as being torn apart. We are in no way doing this voluntarily

They voted for the madman twice. This time around he even got a plurality. Not everyone volunteered, but enough to make it happen.

I know it's conspiracy adjacent but I would be very unsurprised to find out Leon helped Trump steal the election.

It wasn’t “stolen,” votes weren’t fraudulent. Probably. It was influenced.

It turns out, propaganda is extremely effective on a social media addicted population with no regulation to curve any of it.
