The more overworked people are the more willing they are to take intellectual shortcuts and not think independently. One of those shortcuts is to mistake a contrarian opinion as independent thought. Throw in a contrarian leader into an economy where people are overworked and this is the result.

They're asking for access to the voting machines. I'm sure there is nothing to worry about here. /s

Imagine being married to someone who is openly a Nazi and you are like: "it's not a deal breaker". And then your neighbors reward you with a political office.

Acting with "unreasonable disproportionate aggression" is not going to make them safer.
