    I’m not sure I understand your question. In the segment of my comment that you quoted, I was simply saying that it’s difficult for me to fathom that 75% of Trump supporters (and ~90% of conservatives support Trump) report having a cult-like devotion to him, to the point that they simply believe anything he says like it’s the gospel truth. That’s roughly 1/3 of the U.S. population, approximately 110 million people, who regard this man like he’s basically infallible, who think he won the 2020 election, that there’s a huge Democrat conspiracy to rig elections, that all the present charges against him are fabricated, with large chunks of them believing even loonier shit, and who apparently can’t recognize the most obvious, artless, opaquely sociopathic liar modern media has ever presented to them for what he is. That blows my fucking mind.

      To clarify, I’m asking why you’re of the opinion that 90% of conservatives support trump, and that 75% of that group reports cult-like devotion.
