Eighteen percent believe there is “a covert government effort” for the pop icon to help President Biden win re-election, according to a Monmouth University survey.
Im reading this as: Nearly 1 in 5 people will reliably vote for Trump
You’re discounting the number of RFK Jr voters and Sovereign Citizen “Voting is just a trick to get you to create joinder” folks in this mix. Also, the guaranteed number of chucklefuck respondents who reply “Yes, and that’s good actually”.
Good: Trump only has 1/5 of people fooled and there is hope
Plenty of Trump support has nothing to do with QAnon-tier witch hunts. I’ve got Trump neighbors who are entirely in it because they think he’ll be good for the Houston O&G economy. Its the “Climate Change is a hoax and only Trump will protect our jobs” folks plus the “Illegal Immigrants are going to rape my daughter and hot box my son with the dankest Chinese fentanyl” folks who are the backbone of the campaign.
The “Taylor Swift is a 12-Dimensional Psychic Parasite Channeling the Spirit Ghost of Joseph Stalin” crowd are merely the most exotic and lurid supporters.
YMMV. There’s definitely parts of the state that haven’t been driving insane by drive-time talk radio and Baptist ministers screaming for the blood of migrant day laborers. But we’re also talking about a place that churned out D. C. Stephenson, Bruce Alger, and Rick Perry. The ratfuckery runs deep and isn’t particularly new.
RFK Jr is pulling more Trump voters than Biden voters, since that audience doesn’t s generally being targeted by him, but he does have some celebrity pull and Sergey Brin’s/Elon Musk’s ex-wife/ex-girlfriend.

Was Texas always this bad?

I’ll just say that Texas is a land of contrasts.

Also bad you only 1 in 8 to win the presidency
