You'd rather have a fuckwit retard narcissist president drag the country down around him than someone in the "ruling class" not drag the country down.
Just because he didn't bat 1.000 on his first term doesn't mean that he didn't deserve a second. The previous two presidents fucked the economy extremely badly. Trump turned that around. Economy, jobs, employment...he gets A's for all of those policies. He appointed all the right judges, at least ostensibly. He got some wall built. Crossings are down 100% in the places where walls were built. I could go on, but it suffices to say that the guy wasn't totally useless.
Am I disappointed in the lack of a wall? Sure. I also don't like how he got manipulated by the corporatist wing of the republican party, led by Paul Ryan, during the first two years. And he loses some points for his economic success because he got it by spending his ass off, which is the same mistake the last two ass-holes made.
But voting for Trump a second time was totally understandable simply because the alternative was worse. You see the proof of it already. Trump isn't even gone and half the country is banned from twitter and can't fly commercial anymore. They're going to pack the court. They're going to make DC an Puerto Rico into states and pack the legislature. Everyday Americans with inconvenient political views will be banned from getting jobs, opening bank accounts, enrolling in schools, and it's already happening.
That's why they were desperate enough to say "Fuck this" and just push their way into the capitol.
