They didn't vote for this. I bet the majority of those voters cast their vote trying to get better egg prices. They aren't going to get that.

Regardless of what people voted for (I disagree with your assessment) after the fact the recent EOs do have popular support.

How much of the support is because they actually agree with the policies being passed versus "their leader showing strength"?
You shouldn't project your corrupted worldview on everyone around. Not everyone is like followers of Biden.
I assure you we absolutely did vote for this and it’s very fun to be winning so much. It’s awesome to see corruption being rooted out and to be learning how much tax payer money has been wasted.
Do you believe everything Trump is saying?

As an extreme and memorable example: "$x million was spent on condoms for Hamas"

In my experience of the world, therefore through my personal filter, most of the justifications and reasoning I hear out of Trump's mouth are massive simplifications at best and outright untruths at worst.

Regarding rooting out corruption: $TRUMP coin. So they're replacing perceived corruption with outright scams in order to profit from their position?

The deepest strength of democracy is being able to vote disliked politicians out. So long as you can replace Trump next election then the costs are bearable.

I'm in New Zealand and our MMP system has elected politicians with zero constituency (list vote).
