My grandpa used to warn me: most people just want to be told what to do, it's easier for them.

It's easy to vote for one person who says "I alone can fix this." Comforting.

Stupid, but ignorance is bliss.

Trump used that exact phrase. The dude can’t fix a toilet, let alone the US economy.

I wasn't paying close attention (because of utter revulsion), but I hear leftist podcasts talking about how the economy was in good shape pre-pan. For context, they talk about ways the orange asshole will leverage dem policies to smear Biden. I assume this is correct because I hear it as a talking point from multiple different podcasts. Please, someone correct me if I'm wrong on this.
