That seems unlikely, but that doesn't of course mean they're not supporting a dangerous fascist or autocrat, who is a threat to democracy. Your claim also has all the appearance of a bare appeal to numbers, an argumentum ad populum fallacy.
I try to view most debates beyond a facile one side is completely right and the other completely wrong, and I always keep asking myself "could I be wrong"? I don't know how competent a president Harris would have been, but I have some solid objective evidence of how inept Trump is, including the testimony of his closest advisers from his last administration, and beyond his policies which vary from bat shit crazy denials of climate change, or insanely stupid claims about the best way to tackle a viral pandemic, to empty rhetoric, his character has demonstrated he is unsuitable to public office, and certainly high office.
I accept that people view this differently, but I don't find any of the arguments they resent address my concerns in any compelling way, mainly I get sweeping vapid rhetoric, and bi-partisan whataboutism. I don't wish Trump dead, I just don't want him elected to public office, but FWIW he has himself implied he wanted people dead, I am here remembering his remarks about "2nd amendment people" sorting out his problem (Hilary Clinton), now even if one were to accept it was not meant literally, it is still a very dangerous thing to say. An off colour joke on a private website much less so.
I think you have a blindspot where trump is concerned, as I have read you repeating his lies about the election he lost to Biden for example.
It’s perfectly possible for someone to be a fascist without being a Trump supporter, but if someone is a Trump supporter, it’s odds on that they’re a fascist. Because Trump routinely displays all 14 characteristics of fascism.

Right, there will never be another free election in the US during my lifetime. Seriously, what exactly do you think is going to happen? Most of the responses here sound like you're all taking losing the election by a landslide as a personal offense.
I've had an MRI of my skull several years ago, and I already have a brain. And grape is my favorite flavor of kool-aid.
I thought the democrats lost by 1 or 2% points. What's your definition of landslide?
1. I think the free elections will continue for the USA.
2. Donald has made comments that it will be the last election you will ever need to vote in, implying that there won't be anymore elections and that he wants to be a dictator. He also envies Putin, Xi, Kim Jong Il.
#1 is besides the point.
#2 concerns me a lot since it shows his state of mind and therefore, he is not fit to be president of a democratic nation.
I don't think that 50% are nazies or fascists.
I think a good portion of the population are christians and it was important for them to ban abortion. Since Roe vs Wade was overturned, they view him as a second coming of Jesus.
Another big factor seems to be the inflation. Donald is viewed as a savvy businessman and all the rest, all the rest of the republican politicians are viewed as useless politicians who don't know how to run a business.

^^ Florida was two points away from overturning the ban on abortion. People want women's rights restored. Unfortunately, the country has shifted to a point where recovery might only be possible via a rebellion.

Taylor Swift Announces Boycott of Red States, “I Can’t In Good Conscience Perform There”
In a move that’s already sparking heated debate on social media, pop superstar Taylor Swift has announced she will no longer perform in red states following Donald Trump’s recent election victory. The decision, which Swift made public via a passionate Instagram post, came as a shock to her millions of fans, many of whom reside in the very states she’s now boycotting. Swift, an outspoken advocate for progressive causes in recent years, made it clear: “I won’t be bringing my music to states that continue to support divisive and regressive leaders.”

^ I guess she may not make it to two billion in assets.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

If she writes the perfect anti-Trump song and does an international tour, she might.

I seriously doubt she will be clipping coupons any time soon.

Collaborators at best, yes. If you ask me, most of the magats are worse than nazis. At least the nazis believed in something. All the magats keep telling me they were just suckers who got had by a con man out on bail.
@ Taylor Swift. Poor magats, just a couple years ago they thought she was singing coded love songs to white supremacy, now they have to watch the other guys kiss their imaginary girlfriend.
