I am an outsider (I am not American), but I have noticed that Americans incline to over-analyze various minor details, to speculate wildly about them and to exaggerate them to absurd, conspiratorial proportions. Both democrats and republicans. They are not patient (or charitable) enough to simply wait for verification, clarification.BTW why would Trump give many people the overwhelming impression that he wants to stop normal voting? If that is his plan then this is testing the waters. If he wants democracy to continue as normal then it achieves nothing except hurt his popularity for many people (mainly non-Christians).
I thought that this would shock Christians but it seems they are onboard and assume that whatever it means is fine and moral, etc.
It seems to be a cultural thing (there seems to be some underlying constant fear/anxiety among Americans of governments, end of the world, of an apocalypse, of tyranny, of "the other half of the America" and similar). It may be loosely related to mental health crisis in the USA, and, indeed, to the US history (being a colony, wild west, revolution, slavery, immigration/fleeing from various persecution in home countries...).
Interestingly, countries having a real experience with tyrannical regimes are more calmer and tolerant during such democratic crisis, like the post-communist Europe or the countries that experienced the WWII in their lands. Probably because they know how the real crisis or tyranny looks like.
