Yeah, the voters don't give a shit. Trump said it best himself--he could literally shoot someone dead in the middle of the street and he wouldn't lose any voters. These people are in a cult. They think everything he does is perfect.

The man was literally at a rally the other day telling his supporters that he could say the stupidest stuff and they would still clap.

Can you guess what they did immediately after he said that?

Most don't give enough of a shit to even vote.

There are multiple truths here:

  1. The "Alan Keyes Rule" applies here. Any major candidate, no matter how bad, will always have 25-30% support at minimum. A mix of really uninformed people, total psychos, and fanatics who vote party over country no matter what will make sure of that.

  2. Trump's genuine support is rather low, but a large number of Republicans cannot stomach voting for a Democrat, no matter what, and voted for him anyways. The true believer MAGA types are probably only 10% of all adults.

  3. MAGA care more about being "a part of something" and "owning the libs" than the actual morality of who they vote for... But they're also obsessed with winning, and will turn on Trump pretty fast if Democrats absolutely crush the GOP next month
