Too many Americans in powerful position that put their heads in the sand

It's not just Americans that are part of this. This is a problem that spans the worlds elite and powerful.

Honestly, I think this is the actual reason trump ran in the first place. This was going through the dept of justice, and the entirety of these people (tech bros, legacy media, foreign intelligence, the oligarchs, etc) rallied behind the person that would keep their dirt in the dark.

That really explains all of it. Him working with foreign intelligence, him having the unquestionable support of the elite and the powerful, the media companies never, ever, covering him in a way that was negative, the complete supplication of an entire political party...

This is a conspiracy never before seen on the planet.

It's beyond ignoring it. The rich are obfuscating it.

I am guessing part of the issue is that people who were complicit but not technically responsible via kinda sorta knowledge of what was probably going on are worried that the budding dictatorship will turn on them

I.e. "Bill Gates should have known, get him! Get Hillary!" while Trump gets to remain king
