The ones voting for him are listening. That's exactly what they think they want want. The average republican voter is simply too stupid to understand the long term implications of their choices. This is the same stupid push that led to Brexit.

They're being controlled by the smart republicans that are using it to enrich themselves at others expense.

While democrats do this kind of manipulation too, at least they aren't pushing straight up authoritarianism.

Last time I checked, the Democrats didn't put forth a candidate for office who they were busy planning to hold a vote for in Congress to erase their prior impeachments, and none who received two federal indictments with a third pending criminal charges... SMH

Truly, it boggles the mind that there are people in this world who think this is someone who is going to do good for the country when aside from the above, there are literally decades of legal and personal disasters that continue to follow him around. He is the Midas touch in reverse.
