One of the things that the internet has provoked is this belief that everything should happen quickly. There has been only four months since the insurrection at our Capitol. There are hundreds of possible cases. It takes time to build a case, bring it to court, and prove it. In my city, when a homicide happens, people are on Nextdoor, Facebook, and Twitter, only a few days after the crime was committed, asking, "Why haven't they caught someone!" "What are the donut-eating cops doing?" "Why am I paying taxes?" People expect an immediate resolution. One of my hunches was that Trump answered the desire for "immediacy." He had an immediate answer to anything. And, apparently, that's what voters are seeking. Answers. Now. Not later. It's a phenomenal distortion of reality, but a growing, manipulated part of the human frailty.
