According to CNN
(If you can trust them) only 38% of Americans support Trump, that is small compared to the majority but that still means that 129 Million people support Trump after everything. And I genuinely don’t know how, because there are many rich country-club republicans who support him and it makes sense for them by why rural Appalachian farmers support him?!?! And they don’t just support him, they would literally die for this man, they are hive-minded-cattle, many boomers literally don’t speak to their children who don’t support Trump. I don’t even think similar populist strong-men like Putin have supporters like this

Fourth of all Trump is a Slopulist and he larps as Anti-Elitist during his elections by calling out lobbyists and industrial complexes but goes back on it when he is back in office.
Fifth of all, boomers are stuck-up and don’t want to admit when they have been bamboozled so they think that they have no choice but to keep supporting him.
Sixth of all, culturally among suburban liberals they are taught to be respectful to others with different political views while rural conservatives are taught the opposite so no one ever
