Just because someone loses a loved one to COVID, don't expect a change of politics.
It will happen, of course, to a few but a lot of people ask how Trump could still maintain a large base of support despite everything that's happened. Well...
Here's a story about a man who lost his mother and his step-father to COVID. They're from Florida. They went within a month of each other. Is the son angry? No. Does the son blame Trump or DeSantis? No.
The son still attacks Biden as a socialist racist.
They rail against the encroachment of socialism in America.
They fully, and without reservation, continue to support Trump.
Why?
Because it's God's will. For many of these people, they actually believe that it is what it is.
Sure, they're brokenhearted over the loss of their loved one - but they look at as the flu and, gosh, no one was blaming Obama for the 500,000+ Americans who died during his twelve years in office from the flu. So, why should we blame Trump?
That's the mentality that will always keep Trump above where we all think he should be approval-wise and head-to-head with Biden.
For a solid chunk of this country, dying from what very easily could have been a preventable death had the government acted responsibly, isn't enough to change their ideological make-up.
They still hate liberals.
They still hate socialism.
They still hate Democrats.
