Probably closer to 200 million. Americans are deeply stupid about this kind of thing, and I suspect most people on the left didn’t really understand either until they were told how Trump’s plan was insane.
That’s the thing though. A lot of people do not bother researching and finding information themselves. That’s what makes rhetoric so powerful.
And it works. Just keep repeating the lie that people want to believe and they will believe it. The bigger the better. That’s what makes Trump so persuasive to morons. They want to believe these unbelievably ridiculous lies.
“A big lie (German: große Lüge) is a gross distortion or misrepresentation of the truth primarily used as a political propaganda technique.[1][2] The German expression was first used by Adolf Hitler in his book Mein Kampf (1925) to describe how people could be induced to believe so colossal a lie because they would not believe that someone “could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously”. Hitler claimed that the technique had been used by Jews to blame Germany’s loss in World War I on German general Erich Ludendorff, who was a prominent nationalist political leader in the Weimar Republic.”
It’s funny how often the accusations Hitler leveled at others ended up sticking to him instead. After he had Ernst Roehm and other brownshirts arrested and murdered in 1934, he gave a speech in which he claimed that Roehm had been planning a “Night of the Long Knives” (a phrase in use since the middle ages) attack on Hitler and the other nazi leaders. The phrase famously ended up being used to describe Hitler’s actions.
It doesn’t hide it from most people, just those too dumb to go and find out what a tariff is before voting for them.
Of which there are more than 70 million in this country.
