Why I think Platner's scandals aren't weighing him down as much as one would think

I believe that once you start getting the relatively low info voters in your coalition and the ones who don't vote usually via big promises and ralling around a external enemy " immigrants or establishment or companies " etc then plenty of your supporters believe in your claims that you are being mistreated and a victim of witch hunt .

Platner in a way like Trump has rallied against the status quo and as expected has gained a bunch of fans who are deeply unhappy with the way things ate atm. Such ppl are easy to Gaslight that the same forces which keep you poor are the ones doing this to me.
