We Aren't THAT bad!

[Self Esteem]

6. Lots of Trump supporters probably do good things in their own private lives.

They probably help their neighbor or give money to a charity or house people who've lost everything.

Problem is, on a wider scale, we are bad. This country does support Trump. People need to stop pretending it's just some small minority. Trump has only grown his support since he came down the escalator in 2015. In fact, he might be the only politician since Reagan who has gotten more popular the longer they've been in the public limelight as a politician. Trump won more votes in 2020 than he did in 2016. He won a higher percentage in 2020 than he won in 2016. And then in 2024, he turned around and won more votes then too - as well as more electoral votes and a higher percentage (finally winning the popular vote).

Maybe by the end of his second presidency, Trump will become as unpopular as Bush and Biden are now. But right now, despite everything since 2015? He's better positioned ten years later than any president has been at this stage.

These good people still voted for Trump. And he's only expanded his numbers, which means more Americans today accept who he is and what he stands for - and support it - than a decade ago when everyone thought his winning was not remotely possible.
