- Did they do it because they think that somehow a man who once lost 1% of every business dollar lost in America in a single year at one point might be good for the economy? They're probably just misinformed.
- Did they do it because they think he somehow might help stem the tide of COVID (even if he's made abundantly clear he doesn't give a shit about it)? They're clearly just delusional.
- Did they do it because they like the fact (for just one example that could easily be replaced by his other bigoted bugbears or his repeated underminings of democracy) that he called Mexicans rapists and thieves? That's when you can safely call them bad people.
Given the way the republican party has been trending the last 55 years and given the kind of people Trump brought into the party, I'd be surprised if 50%+ of his votes didn't come from out and out racists.
