They are ignorant about politics or just don’t care. Some of them just vote Republican every time without any thought, because, that’s what they have always done.

The others are at their core horrible people, imo. They have a different relationship to Trump. These are the people with MAGA signs who have become “in real life trolls,” taking their bitterness and insecurity out on the world. They want people to suffer because it makes them feel powerful.
