A poll claims 43% of Americans are still pro-Trump. If true, then 43% of us don't mind if their President commits fraud--as in Trump University and his Tax fraud; it means 43% percent of us are fine with a President wholeheartedly supported by Putin; it means 43% of us do not care about his history of sleeping with his friend's wives--as he boasted in a published memoir; they don't care about the monumental stack of his lies that have been documented. Nor about the Big Lie. They...don't care.
That seems high, but I once read a metasurvey -- that is a survey of surveys -- that shows that universally, across all Western democracies, around 36% will always vote for the strongman, the one who tells them "you're the special one, the entitled one, and I'll be working for you". So they start off with an advantage, they only need to persuade another 15%, not the whole 51% everyone else does.
