I legitimately did not believe it was possible for this to happen. There’s always a hateful minority but I believe people as a whole are good. How did this happen?

    “I’m unhappy, financially so I’m going to vote for the felon, racist, sexist, fascist” still doesn’t add up.

    sure it does. people are not 100% rational. they will use motivated reasoning to justify whatever they need to vote for (what they perceive to be) their best interests.
