Yes.
My circumstances very similar.
Was as stupefied by it then as I am now.
As a young-un, I remember the juxtaposition between "who I think I am" and "is what they are what they want me to be... What I'm supposed to be"...
Very confusing until I was old enough that "who I think I am" took over.
I don't think I'll ever wrap my head around how it is that these criminal conmen grifting Mob-style Robber Barons so successfully duped 75M voters...
I know they did.
Just not sure I'll ever be able to achieve the mental gymnastics to fully understand voters embracing it.
Especially for a 2nd time.
Been waiting since the election for someone to lay these truths bare for all to see.
Seems blatantly obvious to the casual observer and yet "analysts" everywhere have simply refused to mention.
Fear? I dunno...
