Too many Trump supporters know exactly what they are doing

You might still be inclined to dismiss them as stupid or brainwashed for voting for Trump in the first place, but they are not stupid in the sense that they did not realize for whom or what they were voting.

They have no problem with Russian influence, some even welcome it, if that influence strengthens the GOP and undermines the Democratic party. They have no problem dropping ACA for something less desirable if it also means the "undesirables" have an even more difficult time affording health insurance. Intimidation? Voter suppression? Deportation? Again, no problem if it only affects "those people."

Some would not even mind if Trump resigned or were impeached, because he does not say much about God and Jesus, whereas a President Pence would certainly try his hardest to make this the Christian States of America.

who thinks like them.
Dont kid yourself, they were looking for a "soul mate"
racists, misogonists, a whole list of disorders and there he was,
their golden boy.
These are the people who duct tape themselves in their own basements and eat bugs.
They arent stupid, they are afflicted...........

it's just if he'll push most of their agenda, they'll look past the repugnant stuff.
