It has been a while since I posted an entry about American politics, but if anyone wants a laugh at just how misguided and deluded Trump supporters are there, this is worth checking out. Watching it, it’s hard to know whether you should burst out laughing or be mortally petrified. It’s a series of short interviews with members of the public; judging by their accents, they’re from one of the southern, rural states. Some of the things they say really takes the biscuit: Trump won the election; Biden is an actor; only Trump can save America. What I find frightening is that it is a demonstration of how deluded and misguided people can be when it comes to politics. They seem to deceive even themselves, warping their perceptions so much that they attack any and all evidence which might suggest they’re wrong. To them, Trump is something akin to a messiah, and the legal cases he’s currently going through are all a big conspiracy by the political elite in Washington to bring him down. When you remember that these people are citizens of the most advanced, powerful nation on earth, the fact that they can be so deluded is rather troubling.
