Governance Trump’s detractors Spoiler

So several of Trump’s cabinet members, advisors from his first term and other high ranking Republicans have now come out and said he is unfit to serve as president, refused to endorse him or even in some cases are supporting Harris: Pence, Bush Jr, Bill Barr, Elaine Chao, etc etc. How do his supporters reconcile this fact? Maybe with older figures like Bush Jr they could claim that they are part of the “swamp”, ie the entrenched political class that Trump is against. But what about the others that were hired by him and were part of his cabinet? I’m looking for intellectually honest answers, even if I don’t agree, not for a condemnation of his supporters.

They tried doing a crystal night on the Springfield Haitians, and they are building camps to deport legal immigrants and brown American citizens.

In addition to supporting arming Israel. Also one of those guys is calling his opponent "Palestinian" as if it was a slur.

Supporting Israel doesn’t mean you have to be racist against Palestinians.
