The 35% know that Trump is the best option. A Democrat would be far worse. It is a choice between Churchill (Trump) or a gutless appeaser like Neville Chamberlain. There will be no peace in our time until the terrorist source in Iran is confronted and defanged.

You truly believe this? Like for real?

Yes, yes I truly do. Trump is doing the needful. No pain, no gain.

Send your kid to fight.

Lmao…did you stop taking your halidol?

OP here. Please don’t dogpile or insult Trump supporters. I really want to understand what I’m missing.

NP here. Trump is an avatar for MAGA's anger and ultimately, disappointment in the outcome of their lives. He gives them someone to blame for their failures other than themselves. He's a way for them to attack groups they enjoy blaming for their failures. I don't think there's much else to it. The bigger picture means nothing to them-- the loss of jobs, the theft and grift, the war in Iran, etc. They're not concerned about that, especially his elderly supporters who are already pretty comfortable with their pensions. The rest of us can go to hell (and those supporters won't be here to see the fallout, anyway). For his younger supporters, it's schadenfreude. They love seeing the educated suffer. Nothing would please them more than watching a former federal worker with a PhD stocking groceries for minimum wage.

+1
But to add. The bodybags coming home from Iran will break support among MAGA. Right now they are not paying any price for supporting Trump.

You notice that at soon as one of Trump’s actions affect a Trump supporter that support disappears.

The gas prices will result in the first crack, then the bodybags (combined with the fact that Trump will lose interest in going to dignified transfer ceremonies), then the economic depression. Unfortunately we will all suffer along with MAGA.

All those body bags coming home from Iraq and Afghanistan didn’t dent military support for the GOP.

But remember Trump lives mostly in the 70s and as his dementia worsens that tendency is only exacerbated. This will trigger Vietnam vibes.

No, don't send the kid unless kid is a Trump devotee as well. Otherwise, PP's kid shouldn't have to pay for PP's ignorance.
PP should go instead.

This is the best explanation - This is exactly what it is.
Throw in some racism and some patriarchy and this is exactly it.

It's really not deeper than this, folks.

Most are low(er) IQ. I have a bunch in my family. They don't understand more, they don't read anything, they don't think independently. They follow blindly.

This.

I know pretty smart and successful people who are Trumpers. In the same way that you’re viewing their movement as made up of ignorant, racist, uneducated rednecks, they view the left as made up of black, violent criminals on welfare, the mentally ill transgender community and the man-haters who expect white men to apologize upon entering any room. Both parties see each other as the lowest common denominator of their respective party.

This is because divisive politics wins elections. If you would rather disown your “ignorant” uncle than trying understand his viewpoint then your party doesn’t have to worry about losing your vote. And fear is VERY powerful.

And the end of the day your party sells all of us out to the highest bidder. They pass bills that direct your tax dollars to their (or their benefactors) interests. This most recent war is a great example of that. The Saudis buy .5B in Trumpcoin and invest $1.2B in the “Board of Peace” and now they can pick up the demand for the oil that China can no longer buy from Venezuela and Iran.

Its crazy, but everyone of them just robs us while we sit here arguing.

Scaramucci was once a Trumper. Now he has him all figured out. The the orange Nero is nothing but an insecure little brat-- or, as Scaramucci calls it, an uncomfortable outsider.

We knew his when they didn’t care that he’s a rape-y molester. Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris were right about everything.

And many of us (mostly women) knew this. Dear white male voter - when ya gonna trust us?

Do tell, how does one “understand” someone who thinks it’s ok to be a racist pedofile?

Because they had planned 9/11 to garner public opinion and people didn't realize they they were dying for Israel in regards to Iraq.

PP here. Trump is encouraging the American voters who are not of his billionaire Epstein class to get busy attacking each other rather than going after him and his cronies. He wants MAGA to go after "liberal" UMC/middle and working class people and never notice what's really going on with Jared and the crypto bros. We're all supposed to look away and be too stupid to notice, too busy fighting each other while they're scooping all the money off the table into their offshore bank accounts.

Where does support for him end? When do people in the Republican party stand up and demand better?

I think it's response to the inflexibility of the left on immigration. Which is even more entrenched.

Another way to put it is. The left lost on immigration not once but twice, they haven't changed or got the message why should we? Or you know it's not us it's you.

But the Epstein class keeps telling us they need willing sex slaves they can't find enough sex slaves; they have to import them.

You're 100% correct. Fear of the evil other "side" keeps the sheep in line and preserves the power and wealth of political financiers who control our two major political parties.

The Trump era will thankfully soon come to an end but the weakness and corruption in our political system that made two Trump terms possible will remain in place as long as the American people see themselves as enemy number one as opposed to the ulta-wealthy folks who have robbed us of control over our Federal Government.

The fall of the Republican party started half a century ago when the far right wing/racist elements realized that the only chance at power in the future was minority rule through the Senate and the Supreme Court. Since that time the far right wing has worked to make party loyalty a matter of identity through various means - making abortion a religious issue and a substitute for the issue of segregation is one. Another is the rise of right wing media that labels anyone who is not a Republican an enemy. Rush Limbaugh was probably the best example of this (may he rest in the hell he deserves), but you can barely swing a dead cat these days and not hit a right wing podcaster type.

There are people who still think there's a Republican party that might swing back to decency, but that party is long gone.

I certainly agree your point on the harms of political bias in media but otherwise, our major party nominees as recently as 2008 and 2012 included McCain, Romney, and Obama. Regardless of one's political leanings, we should all agree that those three were decent and very capable people with good intentions.

The GOP has obviously lost credibility since 2012 but there would be no pathway to a GOP nomination for McCain and Romney if political extremists had a controlling voice for as long as you claim. Money in politics is by far our most problematic long term issue in our political system and much more so than the small minority of political extremists.

Of course the extremists didn't have a controlling voice for all that time - far from it. The point is that they were trounced in '64 with Goldwater and the John Birchers, but they never went away. They went underground, but kept at it for 50 years until they are the controlling voice.
