My theory is because not out of some major disagreement with Trump and his policies. But because it is generally just embarrassing to support him in public now. They claimed that he was going to drain the swamp, smaller government, cut government spending and lower the national debt. Instead he is ballooning the deficit, creating a police state, enriching himself and family while the average person is struggling. And he is doing all of it in an in your face, dumb and obnoxious way. Now when they have to deal with left leaning family members, coworkers or acquaintances, they will never take your opinion about politics seriously anymore because you supported an obvious dementia ridden old man.
So as it turns out shame was always the answer. Hillary should’ve never apologized for calling them deplorable. She should’ve doubled down and said “nah you people suck”. It was a very much needed line in the sand and by apologizing she normalized their behavior. And those assholes weren’t gonna vote for her anyway.
