It is pretty impressive. My mom, who swore than he was a disgusting man/bad candidate and that she would not vote for him (she’s mega libertarian), seems to have fallen in line and now does t give a shit about whatever else he does or whatever pedo stuff comes out about him.
Honestly he hurts the right people and that’s all that matters. My mom isn’t even that stupid, tbf she understands the material reason why China is winning a lot better than most, even most libs, and can probably decipher that what’s going on now won’t fix that. Just doesn’t matter though, Trump is hurting the migrants and the queers so I guess that’s enough
Why does she care so much about hurting these people?
I can only speak from a urban rural divide perspective, but it's largely because for a long time neither party really cares for anyone living outside of big cities. For the Democrats they always seem to consider this something to be prideful of, and always seem to have a disdain whenever they have to interact with people in rural areas. For the Republicans, they also have the same disdain, but they also try to keep it hidden, and go a step further and imply that they'll do everything they can to spite the other.
It really comes down to wanting to spite the other team for percieved or real slights they've done.
