      He’s a lying, narcissistic, fat sack of shit with the mental horizon of a 3 year old. People mistake that as confidence and professionalism.

      I don’t understand either, and it worries me that someone as patently fake as Trump can dupe 50% of the electorate - what hope when there’s an actual firebrand populist who’s not a lifetime fraud comes along to drag the party further to fascism?

      we’re lucky the fascists have trump and desantis in the lead, tbh.

      It’s easy to understand. Because votes. People just adore and worship him because he will enact revenge and retribution on perceived and targeted enemies who are allegedly making their lives miserable, rather than being exploited by corporate America, making bad life choices, and/or following their nationalist, racist, xenophobic, and misogynistic ideology which distorts reality. You support Trump, you get his knuckle-dragging horde of idiot voters automatically, with little to no effort.

      Because his base is dedicated and significant in numbers. If the other republican politicians lost that republican bloc, they won’t win elections.
