Do you believe that most people who voted for Trump did so _despite_ the fact that he's a fascist or _because_ of the fact that he's a fascist? Or did they not believe that he's a fascist?
- despite (11%, 7 votes)
- because (31%, 19 votes)
- didn't believe (57%, 35 votes)

in reply to LeslieNoon • • •I can't believe all of them are racists. Not because I think people are angels who would never harbor racist thoughts, but because in every other Western country, the racist vote hovers between 5%-35%. And arguably, immigrants in those other countries present more of a cultural divide than in the US.
I'd sooner believe that many Trump voters are desperate and have given up on any establishment politicians looking out for them. They voted Trump because he's chaos.

in reply to eribosot • • •I don’t think most of them believed he’s a fascist, people who would have voted for trump in the last two elections most likely believed that the accusations of him being a fascist were just some far left tantrum and not the conclusion anyone would arrive at when critically examining his own statements and behaviour
tho of course, there were a handful of people who did know he’s a fascist and voted him because of that, tho I really have a hard time anyone believed he’s a fascist, didn’t like it, but then voted for him anyway despite that

in reply to eribosot • •@eribosot @Reid :ablobcatattention: how many people who get their news from places like fox news or twitter/x heard about those declarations?
I'm sure that everybody who would have voted democratic anyway heard them and was pretty conscious of the fact, but that doesn't help that much.
(I'm sure that there are enough people that voted him *because* as to be a serious danger to society, but they don't have to be any kind of majority of the voters for it to be so)
