Oh certainly. I have little doubt many people - not just his support base specifically - noticed since that night in Wisconsin that shit was weird. Error or not, fraud or not, they want answers BUT are quickly shut out from any space where they might harm the narrative.
I think a year or so back, I started a thread on this very subforum where I wanted to know if people inherently wanted most aspects of their lives controlled and directed for them. I realized only too late that I should have made distinctions. Obviously we all crave stability and civilization is ultimately just a big rejection of Jungle Law, that's not control.
But now I absolutely believe there are so many broken, infantile people out there who would be content to reject any notion of their own personal agency or risk something that can rot and fail them. The government is the cornerstone of how society around them operates and moves; hence they suck their thumbs and go to sleep comfortable with the idea that it will never fail them and will always keep them safe.
