There are no good people who STILL support Trump---period---no exceptions.

They are not simply "misled"

They are not just "uninformed".

They either know what a traitorous monstrosity he is or they don't care that he is because he wants to hurt the same people they do---us.

Trump wants to hurt us to increase his power and wealth. Those who STILL support him want to hurt us because, well---like I said: these are not good people.

I know about all of the terrible, vulgar, greedy, selfish, dishonest, ignorant, mean-spirited, racist, misogynistic things that Trump has said or done. You know about all of that, too.

How can we possibly believe that Trump's remaining base does not know all of that?

And, they still support him?

Not. Good. People.

As Garrison Keillor's bachelor Norwegian farmers might say: "Tellviddem!"

in state legislatures. The bulk of the GOP support this monster. That makes the entire GOP a monster. They are enemies of democracy, of the Constitution, of the United States, and all of the good people who want the Constitution to prevail as our founding legal document. The GOP no longer wants democracy. They want fascism. They want a dictatorship. That's it.

I have to admit that sometimes I am shocked to find out someone who seems rational is a MAGAt. Once I discover that the whole rational veneer falls away.

violence against the media, Mexican rapists, etc. It was all on display from day one (and that's being generous by calling defining day one relative to his political campaigning, instead of using his pointless pseudo celebrity existence)

Never mind the stuff going back decades -- Central Park Five, Miss Teen whatever dressing rooms, marital infidelity, sexual assaults, etc -- all in the public eye and record.

ANY person who voted or donated to Trump EVER is a morally defunct piece of shit. And yeah, that's many tens of millions of American adults.

Of course it would take time to build up a following but I'll bet there's a multitude of conservatives who are itching to join a party that supports genuine conservative values instead of belonging to a extremist radical party that wants to eliminate American Democracy and install a banana Republican dictator.

They feel affirmed and supported in their racist, anti-liberal, anti-democratic hatred views. Validation and comradery. I believe it is really that simple, almost tribal. The orange one is their voice which has been lacking for decades. The orange one brought a media-savvy understanding and a con-man, mob boss MO that is easily swallowed.

They claim to be Christian but lie to women seeking an abortion, telling than that abortions cause cancer and infertility. They claim to be Christian but hate the poor and anyone not white. And these “good Christians” were just fine with their new Trump god lying every day of his life and taking taxpayer money because he could. They were just fine with ripping babies away from their parents and sending many of them, traumatized and frightened and alone, to different states, never to be seen again by their parents.

I agree. If you support Trump, you are not a good Christian, you believe that personal corruption is perfectly fine, and you think you have the right to kill people who have different political viewpoints. Poor excuses for human beings!

Justice matters.
