I was told that royal families are all ceremonial and that they don't have any real power, but we keep finding them embroiled with people who have real power.
They're good at what made them rich and powerful! They're not good at much else, they're not smart about much else, and they can't really do much else. But! They're still they're very good at what they do, and they love doing it.
They have a specialized set of skills and interests that revolve around making money and gaining influence/power.
Your enemies aren't dummies, that's why they win. Stop underestimating them. They're gonna fucking kill us all.
There is, in fact, a solid core of Trump supporters who really believe he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize and really believe he's solved 8+ wars and that he's a peacetime president. They're not the majority but I don't see how it's useful to deny the fact that these people exist. He's still losing support, but that also demonstrates that he still has support left to lose.
Well sure, there's wider context behind J6 as a single flash point, but I don't think you should overlook the event itself. It's the most successful single day of protest that I can think of - yeah they got arrested and jailed for a while, but in the end they got literally everything they wanted and were entirely vindicated. The J6ers were transformed into political prisoners and martyrs, becoming a rallying flag for their movement. I think Trump's victory owes a lot to their contribution.
