55. They thought he wasn't serious

That he wouldn't do all the horrible things he said repeatedly he would do.

A lot of his voters think they can just pick one or 2 items off his menu of promises and threats and pretend the rest won't effect them personally. Like cheaper gas and groceries. Or mass deportations of brown skinned immigrants.

They believed him when he said he knew nothing about Project 2025.

Unfortunately the rest of us our also going to suffer because of their willful ignorance.
