Yesterday I asked my most liberal, Trump-hating friend if he ever

There is an obvious one. The best out of a bad bunch.

I submit that there are easy answers. But for many Americans, cognitive
dissonance and confirmation bias hide those easy answers behind Hitler
hallucinations.

My guess is it's little different from here. A majority of voters feeling
left out of the prosperity of the country. And having various theories as
to why - all whipped up by sections of the meja. All it takes is a glib
politician to agree with them to get their vote. Which is very easily
done. The main point will take a deal of time to answer - will that
politician actually improve their lot?

Drivel.
Even the "poor" living in capitalist countries are far better off than the general population in Venezuela.

That being just the latest example of socialist collapse.
