Nobody believed it in the first place. If you asked any modern MAGGAT in 2014 what they thought of DJT, they'd probably call him some rich turd from New York, and would not give him the time of day.

And still more than half of the USA voters believed him better than any other candidate. In fact, a decent chunk responded to his call for an insurgence when his previous presidency ended.

They can't be all total idiots. So what are they? I have never seen a decent deep analysis on why they behave like this. Afaik, they got the worst chances in the existing economy, and decided, as they are hurting anyway, they'll make the other half of the USA also hurt.

Question for every USAian: Someone must have thought deeper about it. Is there a decent book or long form internet article, readable by a more leftist public?
