Easy with the use of "we" there buddy. Just look at the polling. There are way more people not buying the bullshit, and the numbers keep getting worse as even the faithful are tiring of it as well. So just tossing "we" around becomes offensive as you've now included me into something I will not be a part of.

The numbers have sort of plateaued. There's a ~30% of the population that is all-in on Trump for emotional/psychological reasons, who have very different values from the rest of the population. Where others see malicious incompetence, they see him sticking it to their opponents and are even willing to suffer as long as they perceive their opponents to be suffering more. So although they don't like paying a lot of extra money for gas, they will put up with it for a long time because the payoff is seeing others suffer more. IT's not that Trump created this mindset, although he was able to capitalize on it due to being celebrity; about 1/3 of people are assholes and they're able to use the internet to network and coordinate like any other group. Unfortuantely, they are one of the largest social groups, while opponents have to deal with the friction of coalition politics.

That's fine, but at 30% "we" is doing a lot of heavy lifting. If it was 80% in favor, then maybe "we" could be accepted. Even at the less than a majority winning the election makes "we" difficult to accept.

Too little too late, unfortunately. The train has left the station.
