Not only that, the current president literally promised everything to everyone - just to win! People are too naive (or too innocent) not to notice the lies.

Tbf, that's Athenian democracy at work - politicians would promise the most audacious things just to get elected. One could argue that's even how democracy started in the first place - just so that one guy could rule Athens independently and not as a Spartan puppet.

Of course, we haven't adopted the other facet of Athenian democracy which is ostracization by voting.
