      I remember Trump’s first campaign ad where he said he was going to “bomb Iran and take their oil.” To the best of my memory, those were the exact words. And things like that are why I will never forgive anyone who “didn’t know what they were voting for.” He was very clear from the beginning on what he was about.

        He’s a hawk that’s going to take on Iran and cartels better than past presidents.

        He’s American First, putting a stop all these immigrants and foreign wars.

        He’s a staunch Christian who will protect Christian values and Israel.

        He’s a man’s man, a ladies man, and will take on the Jew pedo conspiracy.

        He’s a culture warrior. A president who will bring unity. Pro-business, a megacorp fighter. A small town advocate, and pro crypto, pro tech technocratic libertarian. A strongman who will purge despotic liberals


        Basically, voters all got their own personalized version of Trump, and they still kinda get it in their news feeds. So they are getting what they voted for… through a small, warped selectively sliced vision of reality. And Trump’s “condo salesman” style plays into this social media typhoon really, really well.
