I think the reason Trump won in 2024 & the reason removing him will take a sacrifice that most Americans aren't prepared to make, is that the right has figured out how to make themselves seem inevitable, invulnerable & ubiquitous by amplifying & inflating their actual public support to appear greater than it is. It's why they throw $$$ at AI, Meta is a black box, Musk bought twitter, they invented Newsmax & OAN, and the admin has pulled tech in tight.
It's a self-sustaining mirage.
Don't get me wrong - MAGA has lots of support. But the masses believe the nonsense they are told because the podcast guy assures them that it makes sense, the AM talk radio team assures them it makes sense, and every night Fox Primetime brings it home.
Add in the social media algorithms designed to keep them engaged with like minded people AND an unknown amount of paid trolls and AI...you could make anyone believe anything with a skilled team & big enough digital marketing budget.
I don't seem to be capable of believing just anything, even with a big push. Can I bottle that?
You'll find me at street corners wearing an odd hat.

The US is a shitshow right now
