I understand him having these views. Money was exchanged behind closed doors, deals were struck, whatever. I can imagine a financial incentive for him to sow dissent via shitty meme. I don’t understand what’s in it for his followers. Is it just about being contrarian? What more must he do or say for it to be clear to them that he’s just kind of a bozo?
From an outsider’s perspective, it seems to me that the US got here by not being equally as petty. Lie, cheat, defame, appeal to tribalism, argue in bad faith. Populism is the meta and democrats need to get with it, cuz the whole world is on the line.
