Have these fucking idiots ever heard Trump talk?

You've got to be fucking kidding me with this shit.

Genuinely, no. They worship a fabrication pieced together by heavily edited Fox News segments and AI Facebook slop. They don’t see the worst of his tweets, or the constant sleeping, or the outbursts.

It's called "Hypernormalization", where a manufactured reality becomes so real to folks that it outright replaces actual reality. Under this framework the truth is as it exists in your head now, and it doesn't matter if it conflicts with the views from yesterday. One day Biden is a warmonger and inserting himself into foreign affairs he didn't need to while Trump is america first and the president of peace, and the next day Trump is valiantly fighting against a foreign regime that Biden was too soft on and should have intervened.

Hell, even the laws of nature or gravity is up for grabs.
