    I don’t understand the logic of why corruption makes someone their more ideal candidate. Is America just full of idiots? Whats the psychology behind that

      Because following the rules means that people feel like they don’t control their own lives, and then seeing someone so flippantly ignore basic obligations like regular human decency is cathartic.

      I have a data point from two of my relatives who both agree they want to see the ship go down. At least one votes in bad faith for whomever they think will cause more harm to the country they feel did not hold up its part of the social contract. Toddlers lashing out much like the orange one.

      You stupid fucking monkey brain, you are on that ship! Your overweight, diabetic ass will not be surviving the looter wars.

      Cults. Look at any cult. The police, military, religions, patriotism, Branch Davidion, etc. All cults, all full of people who shouldn’t be part of it because it’s against their best interests.
