122. The cult? Not hardly. They like this shit. But the cult didn't elect him.

It's the mushy middle that did. The people who don't pay attention much to politics. People in NC who thought Robinson was too crazy, voted for Stein, but also voted for Trump for amorphous reasons they can't rationally express. AOC voters in her district that also voted for Trump. Low info voters not in the cult. Seems they're about 1/3 of the electorate and they just didn't like what we had to sell. Same as people buying Chevys back in the day we they know damn well that Honda Accords are vastly superior. People are weird.
