I think you are essentially projecting (and I hope you don’t read that as an attack, I don’t intend one). I think because it seems impossible for you yourself to ignore this stuff, you’re making incorrect assumptions about others. But maybe yours is more accurate and mine is less, I’d certainly prefer your version!

One Trump voter that I know - she’s been pretty shocked by some of the things I’ve shown her post-election - but she has also told me that she’s not watching much news or keeping up right now. And she falls into the “merely foolish” Trump voter category, not even the hateful kind. My sense is that the vast majority of important info that’s coming out, she is either tuned out from, or rationalizes as “can’t be that bad”. And I bet that is exceedingly common right now.

This is powerful stuff, I mean it put this guy in the White House twice despite the mountains of evidence of his bankrupt morals, bankrupt businesses, outright scams, and straight up felonies. If you think they can’t successfully cover for him post-election, I just fundamentally disagree. Though it’s interesting to hear even Fox has been critical, I would really love to be wrong here.

The other thing this leaves out is that the kind of personality who is drawn to Trump is very often the kind of personality that cannot handle admitting fault for any reason. So we have that lovely human tendency to try to overcome, too.

But yeah, agreed that the problems might get big enough that it becomes impossible to out-propaganda reality.
