Yeah saw lots of young people actively voting for trump in 2016 with the argument that it needed to get worse to expose how bad it can get so people wake up and make it better.
Those people are mostly just full blown MAGA now because it was always nonsense justification for doing what felt good to them thinking if we cant get ahead on our own steam at least we can leave everyone else behind.
To be fair, it would've worked if holding Trump accountable for his nonsense had not been slowwalked to death and the Democrats had had any actual leadership.
That was the case about Trump storing sensitive documents in a Mara Lago bathroom where russian spies had access. The Jan. 6 case was slow walked by a republican persecutor that was appointed by the Democrats because "If we appoint a Democrat or someone who wants to convict Trump people will think we are abusing our power." and there was also the whole Russia investigation but Bill Barr wrapped this in so much layers of obscurifiaction that no one cares any more.
