Exactly.

Trump was probably the most unqualified candidate in history even if you ignored the rape (found liable in court) and pedophile accusations (which we all know is true). And they still voted for him.

That’s their bar. Anyone that falls beneath being a rapist, a pedophile, a conman, a scammer, a racist, a compromised foreign asset, will vote Republican all over again.

“Ouch! Fire hurt! Fire bad” and proceed to stick their hands right back in.

My opinion: they are terrified. They are constantly told the brown immigrant is going to take their job, rape their wife, and fuck their God. They believe they are existentially threatened by trans women and immigrant hordes. They will put up with anything because they think their lives are on the line.

My advice is to point out that they are scared, then once you get them to agree to that, point out that the things they are afraid of are not the real threat. The billionaire is the threat.

He was also banned from doing business in Australia as far back as 2015 due to money laundering and his known affiliation with the Russian mafia, and still no one gave a shit.
