The fact that a con man was allowed to run in the first place should have signaled something was wrong with American democracy, but then the country would have zero presidents soooo :shrug-outta-hecks:
To be more serious, I'm assuming this is all intentional on the part of both Dems and Republicans. Maybe to justify the Dems losing the coming election as "Whoops we accidentally created a martyr for the right, how could we see this coming despite having one of the world's best-funded intel agencies at our disposal? Nope, not our fault. It was worth it to get Trump out of the way tho. Uh oh looks like Desantis is making death camps for trans people, oh well better vote for us next time!"
