3. Even in the face of Trump driving us over a financial cliff, Republicans still support him.

His tariffs, wars, and tax cuts for billionaires have all contributed to huge increases in local prices and the national debt. He plans to spend billions remaking DC with grand monuments all with his name on them to pollute the city long after he is gone. This at a time when we have surpassed 100% of GDP for our national debt, a number not reached since post-WWII.

They would rather see him spend billions on wars and benefits for himself while cutting things like medical research that might saves the lives of their children and grandchildren, so they vote for whomever he wants to keep his power. The idolatry of such a corrupt, amoral, and dishonest man is beyond astonishing.
