I wouldn't say no one is paying attention. Rather, we learned that 40% of the country agrees with that language and actively wants a violent dictator

Yeah I was wondering who "nobody" is in this context.

Certainly not the record number of voters who came out in 2020 to vote against him.

And the fact he never won the popular vote in the first place. It sadly turns out, there’s a market for Nazi/fascist hate.

40% of the country agreed with the original Nazis. They copied segregation from the US. US Nazis filled Madison Square Garden until the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. Then they were immediately shut down in the name of national security (and because they were all cowards).

This isn't new. The Japanese fucked over Hitler and he had to roll with it. Those Nazi sympathizers had kids and still exist today.
