You Trumpkins are simply immune to facts and logic and incapable of admitting (or even recognizing) that you have been conned by a pathological liar and career criminal.

Danger! Straw man construction zone!

Steve Forbes ran on a simplified tax plan, which of course, would have been hugely beneficial to his fellow 1%. He failed miserably.

It would have been beneficial to a very wide cross-section of the population if implemented correctly. Forbes candidacy didn't fail only because of his tax plan. It failed because he wasn't a great candidate.

Indeed and as I said, there iszero desire to even attempt it. At most, the GOP may spew some flat tax nonsense while demonizing IRS agents. Speaking of which, the whole contrived scary story about the new Biden army murdering tax cheats has now been thoroughly debunked.

Alex Jones is not the only entrepreneur working the Lie Economy angle. Fox News Channel and its bastard offspring Newsmax and OAN excel at pushing half-truths that stimulate viewer appetite for more outlandish morsels. Tucker Carlson would have you believe that Jan. 6 was a false flag operation. Sean Hannity pushed a baseless conspiracy theory about the murder of Seth Rich. The channel hyped ivermectin as a Covid treatment and drenched its audience in bogus coverage about the stolen election. Again, not everything aired on these channels can be dismissed as lies any more than the notion that Jones broadcasts lies only. But the steady stream of spurious segments they do air seems designed to hook accepting viewers whose attention can then be sold to advertisers.

And if there's anyone who's going to focus on division, it's gonna be you, Finn.

Of course, you like to paint "folks like me" with a broad brush, but I've never watched Newsmax or Alex Jones, and I rarely watch Fox News. I wonder if that comes as any surprise to you, or if it even matters.
