They just sprinkled in a little extra facism

Makes sense. The public no longer blindly supports this kind of shit like they used to...so authoritarian tactics are now required to keep getting away with doing it.
They don't blindly support it anymore- now they knowingly support it.

That doesn't explain why the majority of MAGA voters are actually upset about this. What most people fail to account for, is that a ton of people who voted for Trump, were lied to about what he was planning on doing, and they were simply too gullible to look any deeper than the narrative they were fed.
Yes, they are stupid. But they aren't necessarily as evil as the ones that voted for Trump because they wanted stuff like this to happen. That's a much smaller demographic than people think.
Also as many have pointed out myself included, propaganda is a hell of a power multiplayer for support. Plenty of decent folks have been propagandized for sometimes decades or generations, this means that as a baseline their perception of reality is warped at best absolutely rat fucked at worst. As someone who broke out of that particular spiral due to my own historical literacy and my abject fucking hatred for most so called authorities, well it's a rather hard thing to free oneself from especially in say rural Idaho or Arizona for example.
The upside is that propaganda only really works when people don't think they are being propagandized to, this means that if the propagandists push back too much their control will snap. It's a lot like religious conversation the easiest way to convert someone is subtly, I should know I somehow made a fucked up synchronous thing from my kins folk traditions and Norse neo-patanism and converted myself to it.

He is the swamp.
He's more like a burst urine soaked sewage pipe, spewing shit and flooding the whole American political sphere with giant turds and other effluent.

Twenty years ago the Republicans didn't work hard to destroy their country. Neither did they take orders from Moscow. Things have definitely changed.

Yeah, they took orders from Saudi Arabia. They still do, they've just added additional petro-state puppet masters.

I have a really tough time telling the difference because malicious people often pretend to just be stupid cultists.

He drained the swamp and then flooded it with his own newer swampier swamp
It’s gonna be the biggest most beautiful swamp you’ve ever seen. People tell me all the time I’m the best at swamps, they say “wOw you are so good at making swamps.” And they’re right I’m gonna make the deepest swamp in the history of this country.

Yet somehow half of the voting population supposedly voted for it.
With some help of Elon and his goons

He drained the swamp and found a bigger swamp underneath it.
When you drain a swamp, you remove clean water and leave filth and slime behind.

Please. If you really think the US Russia connection is new then you really haven't been paying attention.

They've been trying to destroy the country since after the partys switched.
20 years ago it was bush and Cheney working hard at it.

He didn't drain the swamp, he just added overt facism and called it gazpacho.
