People know who Trump is and they like his policies. They're willing to put up with quite a lot from him to keep those policies, and in a case like this that means accepting some embarrassing pretzel logic. The idea that Trump's voters are unaware of his corruption is laughable

It's like everyone forgot that Trump campaigned on the fact that he was corrupt. He was a rich businessman who knew how the game was played, and would be nobody's fool. Now people want his very happy core voters to be shocked, shocked by that same behavior in office.

My thesis is that Republican voters place a great deal of value on white ethnonationalist policies, deregulation, and a generational lock on the Supreme Court, and will put up with any amount of Trump clown show in the pursuit of those outcomes

I've had quite a few republicans try to get me to listen to Fox and Limbaugh. As if the reason i don't support them is because i don't know or haven't heard. Oh, I've heard alright. Heard plenty. I'm against it because it's stupid, racist, anti-American, and unscientific.
