I was told today that this is “all the dems fault because they haven’t tried to stop him yet”. I can’t imagine how far your head has to be up your own ass to see that viewpoint.
I think that’s the “only Democrats have agency” thing that comes up. When Republicans are horrible shits people are just like yeah they’re horrible but like you don’t blame the bear for doing bear stuff. But everyone else is held to normal human standards
Authoritarians are masters of compartmentalization. They cannot and will not connect any dots that conflict with their predetermined world view. Their brains do not function rationally and they are incapable of drawing rational conclusions.
There is a great free book on this topic with years of research behind it.

No, you don’t blame the bear. You cage it in a zoo or euthanize it for getting too comfortable around people.
