The dark genius of this administration is people will connect better with an over-the-top Hollywood villain than a qualified, competent and measured professional who knows what he's doing.

It's not even a matter of agreeing with policy. Average voters are dumber than FUCK and always have been. But Trump worked in media and franchises like WWE/WWF and learned how people just want to see spectacle and don't even give a shit about actual politics. An average idiot is going to be dazzled by gold and pageantry but the shit between their ears that pass for brains will make up stories to explain why they like seeing shiny things. "Well, I like his plans to do... the stuff, for the things... I guess. Yah, woke is bad!"

And this narrative just comes from the fact that they had their attention captured better from Mr Pisspants than any alteranative.
