Some Voters Think Trump’s a Criminal and Support Him Anyway

Asked whether they believed Trump has or has not “committed serious federal crimes,” 54 percent of poll respondents replied that he had. But 19 percent of them confirmed they’d still vote for this criminal ex-president in 2024. Along the same vein, 13 percent of those who believe Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election results “threatened American democracy” still plan to vote for him next year.

It makes complete sense when you realise, that these people WANT to destroy the American democracy.

as long as the 'right peoples' are hurt along the way, it doesn't matter to them if the country implodes or if they or their families get hurt, too.

I guess they hate the countries institutions so much that they’ll burn it all down just to feel it’s warmth

It's worse. Such people simply don't value democracy and it's benefits but would rather live in an authocratic system as long as they are the race on top.
