I think this is why they would vote for Trump again.

The reason they voted for Trump in the first place was that just like Jeb Bush, there was no way another Clinton was going to be elected again. There are a few reasons that the people would vote for Trump again is they vote republican regardless of who it is just so there is an R behind the name. These are the lazy people. The others fall under the categories of I wish I could act like him but I was not raised that way so they live through Trump. And then are the extremists who act out because they think that is what their leader would approve of and he would not stop them from showing their power. All these people I would bet, believe that if Trump becomes a dictator when elected again, that he will take care of them because they supported and voted for him. They will also be the same people when Trump throws them away after they helped get him elected, will say " I did not see that coming." Too late, you stupid people. You gave our country away because you drank the Koolade.

"The others fall under the categories of I wish I could act like him but I was not raised that way so they live through Trump."

This is what I have found in most of them. Trump's biggest "accomplishment" is that he has made hate and violence accepted. Actually, not only accepted but encouraged.

The Republican that I know has changed to almost a different person since they have become a Trump worshiper.

And they want to go on and on about how great the economy was before Trump fucked it up.

They have some controls over him but he's crazy, impulsive, dishonest, dangerous and not totally controllable. They know that.

Trump is a media piñata until they anoint his replacement for 2024.
