In reply to the discussion: In the heart of Trump Country, his bases faith is unshaken [View all]Proud Liberal Dem
(24,821 posts)33. Can sombody explain to me how this is a story?
Story after story about Trump's "base" voters seems pretty much the same I can practically tell somebody what they are about without even reading it: Trump voters' problems haven't been solved yet and, despite Trump's obvious gross incompetence and lack of actual substantive policy prescription for their particular issue(s), they still support him and maintain their unwavering/blind faith that he will come through for them in the end.
Have I got that about right?
Trump voters realizing that they've been duped and planning to support Democrats and/or non-Trump loyalist Republicans (are there actually any left in Congress) in the next elections, now THAT would be a story.

All these articles fail to mention that "Trump Country," is an island that's quickly eroding.
