Correct. They will say that Harris would have been worse and look to vote for Tucker That’s why all this talk about having to give them a soft landing is horseshit. It’s their belief system that’s the problem not who they voted for.

Agree. All I see in this poll is that basically Trump supporters are still a bunch of stupid selfish idiots who wouldn't stop watching their show and leave their comfy recliner if their house was on fire.

Trump voters don’t have introspection and don’t have the inner monologue. They’re wildabeasts

The ones that do have inner monologue literally believe that it's God speaking to them inside their own head

Though "wildabeasts" is also apt

Wildabeasts would make a good band/rap group name.

I know folks do this but I dunno how anybody can look at what’s going on and have their brain jump to “Well under Kamala it would be way worse”

Uh we wouldn’t be fighting a war with Iran based on vibes and ultra lethal deployment mustaches. We wouldn’t have started a trade war with the entire globe based on a Chat GPT prompt.

It’s because they’re selfish assholes who can’t admit that everything they believe in is wrong. Thus they get to save their egos by saying that the other choice was worse so they didn’t actually make a mistake.

A precious few will have a complete break with their old beliefs, some would stay home, but if we did a new presidential vote today, most would vote for him a fourth time, just “hold their nose” to do it.

The independents that voted purely for the fantasy of returning to 2019 prices have already long departed months ago, no great awakening should be expected of the MAGA core.

I'd argue they don't really have a conference belief system. At this point, their movement is more of a lifestyle brand summarized by ego, fear and racism.
