As someone who is American, it's really hard not to be surprised when you've been observing the utterly bizarre state of the heavily right-wing/conservative side of our jacked up politics. People who follow Trump and Musk have been heavily rooted in fear, so of course the phrase "Make America Great Again" and "Take Back America" sound good to them because they cannot accept that people who are different live amongst them and fear for things that certainly equate to propaganda fed to them.
I think what I'm trying to say here is that America has an incredibly terrible history of racism, colonization, erasure, suppression, etc. It's like that of a snake eating itself in a continuous circle for as long as the American empire has been standing. The people who are not in the ideal white American dream lens, such as myself, have to deal with the heavy burden first.
I have this feeling that Trump and MAGA in general will be the straw that breaks the empire camel's back, but who knows.

As a non-american, it confuses me that people actually support them. There's something really wrong with those who agree with them.
