Don't forget how:

"I'm NOT voting for an entire apparatus of executive government with thousands of employees, I'm ONLY voting for a charismatic messiah godking, because I'm still little more than a medieval peasant looking to be mesmerized.

Then if fascists take over the nation (again) and the most vulnerable among me suffer from it (again and again and again), that's not MY problem. While (somehow) fancying myself as enlightened and special and pure. I'm at the center of my goddamned Universe!"

The Supreme Court, and how republicans effectively staged a coup of it in 2016 by turning their back on Merrick Garland, then packed it with corrupt right-wing zealots? "Not MY problem!"... until it is, but by then it's way too late.
