It almost makes you wonder where the fuck they were getting their information prior to the election

It’s a psychological thing. People think he won decisively so they fall in line in a rallying effect even if they hate his guts.

I'm not that surprised. With George Bush Junior, his approval plummeted, going from 90%+ after 9/11 basically straight down after that, until a few months before the election, when marketing dollars pumped his ratings up to just squeak out a victory, leaving the country suffering under Republican reign for another 4 years.

With more targeted propaganda now, I am willing to bet that the tap was immediately turned off, so a relentless stream of misinformation stopped overnight.

Just a theory! 😆
