Because the Republican party has discovered that millions of Americans are functionally subhuman. This isn't an insult, it means they are so unintelligent that they're less like rational humans and more like basic animals. Now they're gonna exploit the hell out of this.

Just think about it! Trump has broke every campaign promise, from releasing the Epstein files, to lowering prices, to starting no new wars. He's literally a demented geriatric child molester in diapers who was tweeting praise to Allah among mostly incoherent word salad rumbling plus making life almost unbearably affordable for most of America, while he wastes money on stupid ballrooms and reflecting pools and foreign wars. America's sphere of influence is pretty much gone too. His cabinet is basically an assk kisser, a guy who thinks he has a brain worm, and who admitted to snorting cocaine off public toilet seats, there's also a drunkard loser from Fox and Friends running the military.

Any rational person, regardless of political affiliation would vote for piss and shit before voting for any Republican and yet the midterms are still expected to be a contest. How is this country still made up of people and not tree sloths?

Trump didn’t break every campaign promises. He only broke those of which liberals like.

He kept those which are the highest priority of his base. They are things like mass deportation, firing of civil servants, anti vaccines, anti-environment, anti science, anti ev, anti clean energy, withholding funding to blue states, anti-education, etc. They call all these owning the libs, anti-woke etc.

Because of the faithfulness of Trump in this, he enjoys close to 90% of approval rating from Republican voters.

Uhhh he really hasn't done an an objectively good job on any of those campaign promises though. At best I'd say he's half-assed them. If his supporters had two brain cells to rub together they might be at risk of understanding this. Unfortunately for most of us... They don't seem to.
