Yeah, I live in a neighborhood full of trump signs. Bizarre trump or 1776 bumper stickers. I’ll never understand it. Luckily with petrol prices being as high as they are now, he has lost some of his base/cult members but, as you stated, there seems to be roughly 1/3 of people who are just going to stay aboard no matter what.
We had local elections where I live this week too and the candidates who performed best are ones who campaigned solely on “I’m a trump supporting republican” and that was the entire campaign. No talk of policy or plans or wants. Bizarre times.
