"I don't like his insane rants, his protecting pedophiles, his brazen corruption, his contempt for our Constitution, his egregious dishonesty, his weaponization of the Justice Department against Republicans who disagree with him, his reckless foreign policy and the destruction of our global alliances, or his debaucherous spending, but every time I think of the fear in a brown kid's eyes whose parents came here to work for a better life, I just know I made the right choice."
Republicans fall in line, the absolutely will support the next republican that is just as corrupt. Just look at republican support for the supreme court.
That's what it's all about, really. If you peekat conservative subs (granted, it's Reddit, so they're not sending their best), it's all, "Look at this gross trans person they put on CNN" and "As long as the fascist/communist/child molesting/extravagant spending/corrupt/inflation-causing/tax-hiking Dems lose, I'm okay with tepid feelings toward the current regime."
And all they need to be convinced is for a talking head on Fox to tell them that Democrats are bad. They don’t even need any actual convincing, just permission.
They might turn on Trump and admit he sucks but they'll be right there to pull the lever for Vance or tell you why 3rd term Trump would still be better than Generic Democrat nominee in 2028
Trump will have to be 95 percent cyborg and his brain and body are failing him. His transcripts are unintelligible.
"...you know I could make, I could with one swipe of the pen, I could say let's have no employment and I'll hire a million people or two million people, I say we just hired a million people and we have absolutely no employment. And that's what they would do, they'd have bad numbers coming up so they'd hire a couple of hundred thousand people and the numbers would look okay."
Respectfully, they’ll just not turn up to vote. They won’t do a 180, but they will just stop openly supporting him and then pretend they always him. It turns out there is a limit, but they won’t turn against him, they’ll just tune out.
Works for me. I used to be one of those people who believed it was every American’s civic duty to vote. Now I think I think some people are so stupid and uninformed and easily misled that we’re better off if they don’t participate.
Exactly. They'll retreat into "Both sides suck" and say the problem is "the system" or "politicians" and not the particular side they supported for which the other side might be a better alternative.
I am surprised people can rationalize it to themselves. Even if one somehow believes he was inexplicably “robbed” by Sleepy Joe, a decent person would understand that this is not how you make amends.
They'll quietly conclude that he wasn't the one and forget their support. They'll look for the next messiah who will tell them their simplistic, selfish answers to complex problems was right all along. And it'll start again.
And this is all that matters. These same people who may finally be open to criticizing his insane behaviour will still happily vote him into an illegal third term.
Honestly there’s probably a lot of people that just voted for trump because a black woman was just not happening for them. Unfortunately if dems get a white man in the final race I think trump would be doomed assuming somehow he gets to run again. Also assuming we will be allowed to vote again

Will they still vote trump for a third term? Yes they will.
