It's not half of the country, it is a subset of Trump supporters. I've enjoyed the 4D chess stuff, real or not, because it's funny. Things like Trump getting the media to correct him about things he wanted to call attention to (Bleach Bit/Hillary erasing evidence, etc.) kind of worked. I do this in arguments sometime: I ask a question I know the answer to to make the other person look it up.
But to me, what has become more apparent is that "plan trusting" almost seems like a movement to keep conservatives complacent; "something will happen, just relax."
Everything from "Sessions is about to arrest Hillary" to the more recent, and lost, Durham report(?) only reenforces my belief that government doesn't work in ways both sides, left and right, imagine ("This is the end of Trump" from the Left). This is both a good and bad thing. Some of it might be legal procedures and some is a good ol boys network that protects their own (there's a club and you're not in it).
The plan trusters, to me, were the ones most steeped in the cult of personality around Trump; they lose sight of the point of my last paragraph. I fully appreciate Trump talking shit about the elites. He's in the club and chooses to throw their bullshit right back at them. How effective he can be as a single man doing that has shown it will take the rise of either a new party or the expelling of the good ol boy GOP types from the Republican Party.
Furthermore, keep in mind that the Capital protests was THE ONLY protest (with the ensuing violence) to actually take the fight to the elite (similar to the anti-lockdown in Michigan). Left wing protests and ensuing riots have always ended up with small businesses and fellow working class people being punished while the elites eat their cake. If it takes a certain amount of removal from reality for a subset of political activiats to have a fighting chance, so be it.

This is what I always thought, I am just seeing these people everywhere now, at the time when the plan seems least likely to happen. It's a comfortable thought, but nothing good comes comfortably.
This is the most fear the elite have ever felt, regardless of how delusional the people at the Capitol were it was necessary and long overdue.
