A pair of Long Island Trump voters visited Ireland recently. I think they were in their late 60s / early 70s. It looks like the current administration will be downsizing or disbanding the organisation their daughter works at and she'll likely lose her job.

Some other changes made by this administration mean that several of their investments are losing value. So they're very unhappy about him being in power now, although apparently the rape thing and being an overall creep was never an issue.

Anyway, Id' read that people like this exist and never actually saw / heard them before. It's real folks. They don't seem particularly bright but it seems they've done well for themselves in life.

Well that is because the rape or creepiness didn't happen directly to them or an immediate family member. There is no empathy with trump voters.

I’m no longer convinced even that is enough to sway this persistent ~35% we keep seeing in polling.

I think the pollsters are erring on the side of trump, since he has brought down SLAPP suits on any media outlet that is critical of him or reports negatively on his popularity. Is accurately reporting a single survey worth 8 Billion dollars/a never ending legal battle with the textbook definition of vexatious litigant who has unlimited funds and time?

Well, they are “anti woke”

Because you won't remember the rape if you pretend to stay asleep?

They kept telling people to wake up, so people did. Now they want them to go back to sleep so they can go back to doing their shitty things without being seen.

I wonder how hard it would be to get enough roofies to knock me out for the next 4 years
