>The thing about Trump being pro peace was just one more pure bad faith lie.

Okay, the reverse logic works as well. People didn't trust either candidate so it came down to all the above, superficial factors or much deeper, unspoken motivations.

My main point is more on "people already knew who they wanted" more than whatever their outward facing words say.

They liked trump, because he promissed to harm trans, liberals, dominate women, dominate international politocs and because he is proper masculine per conservative outlook.

Nothing unspoken about that.

It does not. You need to ignore what candidates said, what people supporting them said, what poloticians said and what people wrote on social media.

You need to literally ignore what republicans, conservatives and were saying praising and doing, just so you can whitewhash and sanewash their choices and opinions.

They wanted to cause harm to people they dislike. They want to liberals others suffer as they watch how "proper manly men" mistreat people.
