Okay, I see your problem. Donnie’s supporters wanted things “shaken up” but really didn’t care if he got anything done. they just wanted to metaphorically give a giant raised middle finger to all those who they felt had slighted them over the years - blacks, gays, “libruls”, that girl in the 7th grade who laughed at them, etc. If they could wind the tape back to the 50s and get even with her, fine but if not, then they’re happy to see it all burn down.
I remember having a conversation with a retired guy at the dog park while I was living in California’s Central Valley (Trump Country indeed). He’d served in the military and then worked as a nursing assistant for the VA, so felt he was completely entitled to his Social Security and Medicare, but didn’t think any of “those people” should get anything, so no ACA, nope. He didn’t even think he should have to pay any taxes at all, since he’d already “bought” his government benefits, so he just wanted to “raise the drawbridge and cut 'em all off”. Nothing I said was going to shift him from his selfish position, so sadly, he’ll need to see his benefits slashed before changing his position (or his vote).
Sadly, there’s going to be a lot of collateral damage along the way.
