my (lifelong republican) aunt and uncle were trump haters in the 2016 primaries. but of course they voted for him in the election because Hillary is literally the devil, and once he won they were all in.
I need to ask my parents, cuz last I heard around June my dad had snapped out enough to at least to say he was considering not voting for the first time ever in a national election. There's an ironic push for ranked choice style options moving forward now thanks to our state Republicans trying to revert back to caucuses and pissing a bunch of constituents off by having us vote to ban other options

A lot of them feel betrayed/wronged by the system, or by lleft leaning/progressive politics.
That's why they don't mind Trump's wrongdoings. They see things like his felony mugshot and think "he's been betrayed and attacked by the system just like me!"...
...a lot of it is emotional for them, and it's a difficult mindset they're unlikely to leave behind.
Still at least it's a better ratio than in places like Israel, where the vast majority of the population are far-right (many of whom are conspiracy theory inclined, particularly when it comes to the assassination of their former PM Yitzhak Rabin).

gang i think some percentage of the FREE CITIZENS OF THE COLONIAL SLAVERY EMPIRE might be violently bigoted
when they were knocking doors did they check with anybody who the slave empire has imprisoned or any of the folks that don't have doors
dumb people shouldn't participate in society. no one is ever going to legislate that. it's up to us to make sure they don't.
There isn't really agreement on who is too shitty to "participate in society", whatever that means. And if you build a mechanism to exclude people, assholes will use it for evil.
But like if I had a magic wand I would remove all republicans from power. They make it easy by self identifying as shitheads.
