25. So many people don't connect policies to those responsible for said policies.

And most Trump voters were voting *for* their (perceived) cultural/social interests. They weren't duped into voting *against* their economic interests. Well, they were, but as a default. Economic woes will be blamed on Democrats and persons of color.

That's why I'm not the least bit confident that many of his supporters will abandon him. If he's forced to resign at some point, he'll be viewed by his supporters as a martyr. It'll be "we didn't deserve him." If he loses his re-election bid in 2020, it'll be "crooked Democrats stole the election." As for impeachment, that's so unlikely that it's not worth discussing, but the response would be the same as if he's forced to resign.
