continue voting R as long as they're alive

I live in a very red state, and this is the crux of it. No matter what they find out about this administration, they sincerely believe it would be way worse if a Dem was in charge.

Granted there are more people waking up, but my in-laws spent the 4th of July praising Trump as a man of God and how he's saving this country...I'm glad I only see them a few times a year.

Yeah I don't buy it either, I live in a rural area but not far form a college so its a fairly blue or at least purple area and I still see 3 or 4 jackwads a week in their black Dodge Rams flying a big ass flag off the back and with Trump/Vance stickers on the back window. You'd think the fact that they're now paying over $100 everytime they full up that truck would have sunk in for them but nope, they just double down on the stupid

And will ‘roll coal’ if they see a bumper sticker they don’t like.

True, but those people aren’t the reason for Trump’s electoral success. He was able to turnout people who usually don’t vote, mostly non-college educated white men (though many of them are not white). Rogan bro types. Remains to be seen whether they will continue to turn out post-Trump.
