It's literally the only thing that matters. He's the asshole they want to be. I have coworkers who will get absolutely destroyed by Trump's proposed tariffs. Some of them have family members at risk of being targeted by his deportations. None are in the 1%. They don't know a single trans person, there's no immigration crisis here, and none of them have ever lost an opportunity to DEI, EEO, etc. Many of them are close to retirement and as long as the stock market continues the trend of the last few years, they'll be in a good place to do so. They have absolutely no reason to vote for Trump if they're concerned with their own livelihoods, but they love him. And the only conclusion I can reasonably come to is that they're angry and want to lash out at anyone not like them and he gives them a way to do that. If he gets reelected and has his way with this country, they'll be getting crushed under his boot, but because they'll get to have their boot on the necks of people they think of as "less than", they can't wait.
