(9,213 posts)the other 40% in the middle are unintelligent and/or uninformed and/or not interested and/or too busy and/or (fill in probably 1 of 50 more variables) and that 40% are the ones who ultimately decide an election. They could probably reasonably be pulled each direction based on some random issue.
In 2016 (besides Trump cheating of course) people were interested because he is a celebrity, he is perceived to have good business sense, they like someone who communicates directly and doesn't bullsh*t them (lying is different), so he won. I think *most* of those people see him for who he is now, which is a scam artist.

"Many Trump voters are becoming sick of it all. They will probably not vote at all in the next election? They believe the partisanship is hurting our country and they don't want to be a part of it.
Even though they like Donald Trump, they refuse to support the division that is created around him. They won't vote for Democrats but they will sit out the process if they think it is harming our country."

As far as we know, the quote above is not real. It is only made up to show what we are up against with the lies of Trump and his accomplices.
