If voters can be made to see that this is the true nature of the choice Vance and Trump are making, they’d surely recoil.
Worth a read overall, but this last like I question. Trump famously made a comment about shooting someone on 5th avenue and not losing any votes. That perspective is largely unchanged. There are core constituents loyal to him that no longer care about the American ideals they grew up with, only that they can hurt 'them', the others that are outside whatever selected group these people associate with. Outside go that nothing matters.
Then there are people so utterly deranged with conspiracy nonsense as to live in a different reality from the rest of us. There's one in a town nearby who has a large sign on the front of their garage:
"Thank Q President George Patton Jr."
Which I guess is one of the latest asylum fantasies. This same person had a flag up with the 'WWGOWGA' slogan on it large enough and on a tall enough pole to be seen by the whole town (since shredded by the elements thankfully).
These people are going to at best take take years of work to return to anything resembling normal and quite possibly never will.
