Let us be completely the fucking honest, what Trump supporters want deep down is to be allowed to hate and speak said hate without retribution, not change. These people fight against change. They're terrified of it.

They want change, but they want regressive change. They want "the good ol' days" back.

I'm not convinced tbh. For the diehard MAGAs, sure.
For the many people that were on the fence, I think they wanted a different admin when it came to rising prices. The system hasn't worked for a long time. Many people are disillusioned.
I absolutely think trump is bad news on many levels. A lot of people are unconvinced as to why though. There isn't a lot of trust in any of the societal institutions. That preceded trump. He has exploited and manipulated that mistrust for personal gain and protection.
