It really helps to understand modern conservatism if you realize it’s just gang mentality. Republicans are the gang, Trump is (for now) their leader and that’s where the thought process ends, full stop.

They don’t think he cares about them per se. They think he’s the guy they have to support to win their turf war over US politics with liberals. Like Bush he’s an intentionally disposable President, only more so. He always has been. When he goes down they’ll feign disgust and transfer loyalty to the winner of the next leadership battle.

These people have zero personal integrity. They’re united by hate and white cultural resentment. They deliberately repeat lies in order to demonstrate membership like street gangs flash hand signs, as a kind of shibboleth. It’s not that they’re stupid, it’s that they’re evil.

Exactly. As soon as a Republican runs for President on a platform of explicit Nazism, these are the pig-people who will give that Nazism their full support.
