Because legacy, independent, and basement medias are constantly beaming images of Trump at them, and when they're given no other option of ideas that's the only one they know. That's why I find it hard to believe that Trump is a Russian asset, then it would mean the media is also owned by Russians, but they're not, they're owned by Western billionaires. Trump has been engineered by the ruling class, and so has his popularity.

You think that Donald Trump won because too many people saw his picture on TV?

I'm going to say he won because he said the quiet part out loud and a good chunk of Americans are just dumb bigoted fucks. Especially now.

Ding!! The ruling class used Trump to weaponize bigotry.

Whats fucked up is as I've watched all of this unfold, I can't help but briefly entertain the idea that those fuckers all decided to do their own version of Richmond Valentine's Plan from Kingsman:

When you get a virus, you get a fever. That's the human body raising its core temperature to kill the virus. Planet Earth works the same way: global warming is the fever, mankind is the virus. We're making our planet sick. A cull is our only hope. If we don't reduce our population ourselves, there's only one or two ways this can go: the host kills the virus, or the virus kills the host. Either way...
