(57,741 posts)a handful aren't, but the majority are true believers. I realize it seems improbable because they do more to drive supporters away than recruit them. My sense is that they care less about the election than in proclaiming themselves superior.
Note, the real deal isn't measured by accomplishments. They aren't looking for that. They are electing an entertainer in chief who will channel their anger for them. They refuse to even consider how he will implement any programs. They simply do not care about that. It's tribal. They want one of their own as president, and if he never does anything other than get post offices named, they prefer that to someone they dislike, not coincidentally a woman, who would get some of what they want accomplished but not validate their emotions.
They prefer a government that doesn't function to a president who will compromise to get legislation passed. In that way, they are very much like the Tea Party, and some hate government just as much as the Tea Baggers do.
