They did not care Trump kidnapped babies from their mothers. Held them for ransom. Had no intention of returning them.
Some Trump voters are getting hurt by Trumps tariff war. They simple say I wish Trump would not hurt me but I like some things he is doing. I still support him.
Trump voters watched Trump choose Russia over America. He broke his oath of office. He betrayed America. It had no affect on them.
It is clear Trump voters are putting their entire fate in the hands of one person, Trump. They are all in no matter what. They will follow him to the very end, even if the end is their self destruction, their deaths.
This is exactly what the German people did in the 1930s, 40s. It's a madness that not only can destroy them, it can destroy the innocent. They could take us all down with them.

We need to exclusively focus on GOTV.

(18,628 posts)We've already seen examples of that, like in the case of the separations. When the economy or rule of law crumbles, Hannity and others will just claim that Trump did his best to bring us out of the cesspool that Obama created, but it'll take another term.
Don't doubt it for a minute, this country can not sink low enough to leave shit stains on Trump's hands to many supporters.

(15,751 posts)trump voters, [and politician trump supporters] may well be on a death march
However, trump can with some merit claim dems are on a death march. trump points to SOCIALISTS SANDERS AND O-C [but there is the other dem divisions, such as Steyer's impeach now, and the inarticulate 'establishment' go slow types.
Meanwhile in the messages to the not very interested voters:
- the trump message is CLEAR - SOCIALISTS , NO COLLUSION [and they soften the Russian problem w mawkish sounding 'meddling'
- dems unable to come up with CLEAR - PUTIN SERIOUS DAMAGE CYBERWARFARE message, or anything that hits hard.
and dems are also putting their fate mostly in the hands of one person - Mueller! [he has been great, but can be stymied]
Precarious situations.
