    Even if everything you said is true - that’s still not his appeal to his base. Those are things that they are comfortable writing off due to his actual appeal. His actual appeal is something that you and most commenters on reddit would never verbalize because you’d rather stick to your simplistic worldview that every single trump voter is a racist, misogynist, etc.

        Feel free to Google “what do people like about Donald Trump”. Nothing I say will change your mind about half the country being racist misogynists and nothing more. Just living villainous caricatures.

            Christianity, for sure. But maybe if you’re trying to actually find out what people like about Donald Trump, every single one of your sources being “people who hate Donald Trump” isn’t the smartest approach.

              I put in the exact google search you suggested. So why are you directing this criticism at me?

                You’re going to ignore my very reasonable response in favor of “WELL I COULD ONLY CLICK ON THE FIRST RESULT GOOGLE GAVE ME”. You’re unwilling to take your head outta the sand, and I’m unwilling to make any more good-faith arguments to obstinate, willfully ignorant people. Have a good one.

                  I have been googling since before Jan 6th thanks. I am aware that the christo-fascist takeover is on the horizon. Either list a specific source to back up what you are saying or knock it off with the backhanded good faith nonsense. The vast majority of people who vote for Trump have been lied to by the right-wing infosphere. But millions of the voters are racists and misogynists who have bought into the white replacement conspiracy theory.

                  I was able to find a source that backed up my argument, that Trump’s support stems from a christo-fascist movement, with the first result of your recommend google search.

          I’m not saying they don’t care about things. I’m saying they’re deliberately and in the face of plain, factual evidence, supporting a rapist who attempted a coup of the United States.

          Does that make them racists and misogynists? I guess it depends if supporting racism and misogyny makes one those things.

          But the racism and misogyny are anchors to what, for lack of a better expression, is trumps “appeal”. If they can’t see that, they’re either refusing to see it or are genuinely stupid, or are wildly misinformed.
