Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsEvery Trump voter is a coward. They are slaves to fear.
Their selfish, self serving fear is the very heart of MAGA, servitude to Trump.
People like the Trump voters can be angry, mean, violent, but they are not and never can be brave.
This is why the Trump voters will one day fade away to live in infamy. Cowards who turned their backs on their country.

(7,850 posts)they cling to Trump because he shares their hate.. he gave their mutual hate a voice .."good people on both sides", "shit hole countries".."they're bringing crime..they're rapists"..."Jews control politicians through money", "China virus" , "I think Islam hates us"... four years of an overt racist/antisemite/xenophobe occupying the Oval Office..powerful stuff, and the maggots want it back...

(13,186 posts)They are more than welcome to see the light, in my book. They tend to be angry and scared in the modern age. That's a fairly common way to feel. It's useless, unpleasant, and unnecessary to feel that way, but it's a common emotional habit.
The "Trump voter" is a role that can turn on a dime. It's impulsive and crude. Moreover, it's largely emotionally founded as a response the false "woke lefty nut" caricature of the left. Drop the caricatures, isolate the effect of behavior outliers, focus on the majority of work-a-day people, cool the jets, and comic book arch villains like Trump can't get a foothold.
