It's not brain rot, it's populist messaging doing what it does. Trump built a foundation in people's minds on emotional appeals. He drew a picture of a country under attack, and one only He can reverse course on. Through careful messaging and constantly appealing to the lowest common denominator, He has made himself a God. And, as such, his supporters are nothing more than believers. What they lack in evidence or reasoning they more than make up for in blind faith.
Sure but how is blindly following an ignorant buffoon not a clear indication of brain rot? You'd expect people would be more able to see through his constant lying, severe ineptitude and other bs but apparently there is no use of critical thinking going on within his cult
It truly does not matter what Trump does.
