Why Do (Some) Voters Still Like Trump?

If you are even slightly interested in politics and you spend a but of time each day thinking about the election coming up next year, at some point you have to ask yourself the following question: How does a guy who has been twice impeached, twice indicted with maybe more indictments to come continue to present himself as a viable candidate for an election to choose the next President of the United States?

You can’t tell me that all those people who show up at his rallies are just a bunch of no-good racist, white trash. I’m just not going to buy the idea that so many Americans are so friggin’ dumb.

I’m also not about to believe that anyone out there really believes that the economy is a mess, or that we’re about to be overrun by the border hordes, or that there’s really a Commie-Socialist-Pinko-faggot-woke-Soros conspiracy called the Deep State.

Sure, there are a couple of idiots like that floating around, although most of them have been indicted for running up tie Capitol steps and acting like complete assholes on January 6th. But we still need to figure out how a shithead like Trump managed to screw up everything between 2016 and 2020, yet still managed to get 12 million more people to vote for him the second time around.
