(12,728 posts)He knew his only chance to hide all his crimes was to get reelected.
And what did he do to ensure the voters reelected him? He let hundreds of thousands die from Covid while pretending there was no COVID. He gave the filthy rich tax giveaways. He gave the filthy rich ppp loans they did not have to pay back.
But no, he did absolutely nothing for the average American voter to want to vote for him. All he did was propagandize. Then he tried to rig the election, tried to deny his obvious loss, tried an insurrection. All the while he kept pumping out the propaganda.
And it almost worked. He got a ton of votes from the idiots in our democracy but not enough.
What kind of democracy is this anyway? When it's easier to con, propagandize, buy off the filthy rich and break the law then to appeal to the majority of people who will be voting for you?
Is this how oligarchies work?
