Famous Trump supporters must have an ax to grind

I wonder why famous people like Kirstie Alley, Jack Nicklaus, 50 cent, would support someone like trump. Did someone hurt them as a child? Is this their payback to the rest of the country for a wrong from the past? Or maybe it's just they are in a bubble that never gets penetrated by current events and see trump as the guy walking by Kevin in the Home Alone 2 move? Fox news isn't that good at covering up trump's BS anymore and OAN is a joke network that acts totally like trump sycophants. Do these people just hate liberals because Mush Limbaugh told them to which of course became the playbook under Noot Gingrich and continues to this day. I've been watching this process for decades and still can't understand why a population that has fought dictators like trump in other countries allows him to sit there and just destroy our democracy. Anyone in the justice dept that tries to get to the truth and follow the law is fired. We have lost many good people in positions to protect us from graft and corruption yet 45% of polled voters still support him? What a sad country this has become. Someone needs to come up with a way to shame these people for their stupidity because nothing else has seemed to work so far. A constitutional criminal sits in the white house and the Senate let him sit there and people think this should continue. Someone needs to go back to civics class. You would think just listening to him talk would be enough to want him out of the spotlight.

I always say republicans don't do anything that isn't motivated by fear, hate or greed. They do nothing out of love or because it is good for the nation or humanity.

He promised to hurt the people they most want to see hurt

It's as simple as that.
