    He’s already said he’s basically going to be 10 times worse if he gets reelected. I’m not sure why the people who support him think that’s a good thing. For a party that claims to love “freedom” they sure seem desperate to elect a fascist dictator

        Yup. They think Daddy Trump is going lock up all the liberals and create a facist conservative paradise.

      You’d think after he didn’t pardon the people in person that stormed the Capitol they’d smarten up. If that didn’t open their eyes, nothing will.

              Why? They did it without the pardoning, and he walked away with his hands “clean” by not acknowledging what they did.

              Personally I think it’s funny seeing these people get time in prison, screaming for Trump to acknowledge them and pardon them lol.

          He didn’t want the folks who would pay him to suddenly believe they didn’t have to pay, or be ticked off that they were having to pay (remember, rich folks can get snippy). I can’t remember the number that was floated, but it wasn’t cheap.

          He believes they are supposed to go to jail for him to prove their loyalty. He really thinks he’s a mob boss or something

      There are several different groups supporting him for different reasons. The biggest, I’d argue, is the slightly right very populist. They’re not into fascism per se, they just want a wrecking ball like Trump to go in and break apart the elite institutions they blame for all the problems and see no other way of influencing. There certainly are supporters who are encroaching on fascism territory. Then there’s long time Republicans who have flipped on a bunch of issues to try to get support from these people Trump activated.
