The only incredible thing is that one third of the US populus can be deceived by such cheap tricks. This is a hiding behind your hands baby-object-permanence-level of deception.

But maybe they see through it and convinced themselves that shilling for the billionaire class is in their own interest. Wouldn't surprised me, given the defenses I have seen from some people even on this site.

Not incredible at all. Expected.
the billionaires-argument can also be made for the opposing party. I believe many didn't vote _for_ trump, but merely against what the democrats were doing
Not defending the Democrats at all, they deserve their fair share of blame for fucking this one up — but if I had to but my life based on who I think is going to sell out less it wouldn't be a government under a man that has a proven track record of fraudulent behavior.
