Sadly, anyone who would vote for him is incapable of this level of self reflection.

What they're incapable of is recognizing that 'the badies' (Nazis) is something they should avoid.

The problem isn't that they don't know they're evil, it's that they fucking love it.

They're in a media ecosystem that just won't talk about this stuff. FOX News and Drudge Report are going to run a thousand "Random Black Person Acts Scary!" headlines before you've had your coffee, then lead into the latest Musk scandal with "Very Jewish Very Not-Fascist ADL says Elon Actually Cool And Good".

This isn't a question of self-reflection nearly so much as it is an accumulation of priors from outside sources.
