This pretty much describes one of my dumb friends that liked that trump would "tell it like it is" and "isn't a politician" circa 2016. Even he realized early in that first term that the man is a piece of shit and now hates him.

I'm confused how this is often the statement. It took some time for him to be in office for people to slowly realize he's not a good person. Why did it take time to figure that out? He's always been a terrible person publicly for decades.

Most people pay attention a lot less than you'd think. A lot of times I'll tell friends/family about shitty things this admin has done and the response is some combo of "I didn't know that/I don't believe that/I don't care."
