Even if you were able to warn people of what was to come, there are a lot of folks who like the sound of a lot of bad shit until they see it happening. Think about all the unknowledgeable voters who claim that "we need to shake things up in Washington" because they don't have the information to address specific issues. If you warned them about January 6th ten years ago, they'd probably think "well at least the people are shaking things up."

The felon ran on mass deportation. Many people supported that platform and then cried tears of regret when their employees were spirited away. People like that have no sense of cause and effect. They're illiterate at logic. They have no foresight of consequences. They don't learn from experience. And there are a lot of people like that in America.
