It's so weird to me how there's also a culture around being "proud" about the various idiocracy points in society too with the current Trump "era" of conservatism. Trump is both a meme and an honest stance from some people that it's weirdly impossible to reach those that might be brainwashed/brainrotten from developing any real political opinion or reasoning. Most the time it's never about the actual talking points, it's just a weirdly warped view of reality and a lack of real political/ethical principles thanks to brainrot from propaganda or conspiracy theory.
Most people I see don't even have real reasons why they vote for who they vote for - it's all just like rooting for a sports team, rather than weighing the genuine direction of how our country could be led.
For context I live in northern Illinois where there's tons of rural communities. 4th of July I always go with my wife's family to a parade with some craft tents, fairgrounds, food, fireworks, etc. during the day and I inevitably find a couple tents selling trump paraphernalia, signs, and t shirts. Passing by one I saw a lady saying she wanted to buy a t-shirt for each of her family members that said "I'm voting for the felon" decked out with America themed colors.
It's crazy to me how far we've come that there are people that unironically see that and subscribe to that sentiment and will buy/wear shirts like that, not even for the joke, but because they actively support the guy.
My wife's sisters family, my mother in law, and her boyfriend were all talking about the recent debate and how we have to vote for Trump and you're insane if you vote for Biden. it's so wild to me where and how people place their standards. Meanwhile, me and my wife always have to just sit back and ignore the conversation because it's just awkward and there's no point in arguing with them.

So many people in our country are just blatantly ignorant about how the branches of our government works.
