I don’t think that most Trump supporters generally approved of Trump having said, at some point well in the past, that he should grab women by the pussy.
I just don’t think that they viewed it as a particularly weighty issue.
I mean, I’d really rather that Bill Clinton didn’t get a blowjob in the Oval Office from an intern. But, end of the day, that’s weighed against everything else one cares about. Most Democratic voters just didn’t care that much about it, not enough to override the other things they care about.
I think that Trump has done things that should be disqualifying, like claiming that he didn’t lose the election to try to score political points. That might be a more-compelling thing to argue about. But Trump being crude well prior to being President…shrugs
I think an even better argument is that a lot of the things that supporters thought Trump would do are bad ideas, but you’re going to have a hard time selling large chunks of Americans on that.

Unfortunately, I’ve met several that do approve. Much in the same way that trump praises putin in a longing, “I wish I could pull that off” sort of way, they admire that shit.
I’d also argue that that sort of stuff crosses a line beyond just being crude. That’s not to imply that he’s not also doing horrible and stupid things policy-wise, but the comment to which I replied was specifically about his rapist mentality.
Trump showing a perfect display of rapist mentality.
No reason not to when grabbing them by the pussy gets you a cult following.
The fuck is wrong with people?
