People Fail. When They Do, They Blame Something for the Failure [View all]

However, it's very rare that they blame themselves or the choices they have made. That's very hard for people to do. It's depressing if you admit it.

So, when people like Trump and MAGA come and tell you that your failure wasn't because of you, but because of "The Others," that's a convenient thing go grab onto. Much easier than looking inward and solving your own problems and inadequacies.

So, why did Trump win? Well, because he and his cohorts convinced votes that "The Others" cause all their misery and failure. Easy out.

Works every time.
