But it is not easy to be a good person when you're surrounded by media that try to make everything look ok, even if it isn't.

I never said it was easy. But as someone who grew up constantly having fox news and limbaugh shoved down my throat for 10-15 years, I know first had just how hard it is, and that it can be done if you want to do it.

I'm not trying to justify every person who voted for Trump and I don't think all of them are bad people

We can agree to disagree on this point. Even from alt-right sources, they knew he was going to do shit like deport anyone and everyone he could, and would embolden the police to be even more over the top than they already were. The problem is these people see shit like that as a good thing, which is why they are bad people.

I personally don't care why someone voted for trump, the individual reasons are unimportant when they knew the kinds of horrors he would unleash on us. That's why they are bad people. They knowingly made this choice, and from my interactions with magats around me, they're only upset that the leopards are eating the wrong faces but would probably still vote for him again if they could (and anyone who tells you otherwise is most likely lying, just like after 2020).
