Trump's loyal political base
...That graph only looks at white Americans. Everyone else pretty universally hates the guy. PRRI says “Less than one in five Protestants of color (19%) and religiously unaffiliated Americans (19%) view Trump favorably.”
Is anyone surprised at this point? White evangelicals have spent four years looking the other way whenever Trump committed atrocities while praising his cruelty and ignorance in exchange for right-wing (often unqualified) judges.
Their morality was always bankrupt. We knew that. But with Trump in office, their moral bankruptcy and selfishness affected everyone else’s lives.
Hundreds of thousands of Americans are dead because white evangelicals cared less about competent governance than making sure Ruth Bader Ginsburg died on their watch so they could replace her...
Rob's comment:
Mehta overstates his case, since his graph shows that even 19% of Protestants of color and "unaffiliated Americans" view Trump favorably. Alas, the right-wing ideology virus will always be with us, more or less.
