"No Regrets for Trump Voters" - Salon Article
This is the best article I've read on why core Trump Voters won't budge in their support.
It doesn't tell the whole story, but accurately describes their cognitive dissonance and deep seated tribal nature of their loyalty. An attack on Trump is perceived attack as an attack on their opinions, tribal affiliation, and self-worth.
Bottom line:
It's useless to try to convince Trump voters to change their minds. They’re just too good at coming up with excuses for why they should keep standing by their man.
That said..., the capacity for denial in Trump voters is not bottomless. It’s just that the scandals and corruption are unlikely to move the needle much, since those things can be rationalized away.
But most... experts thought it’s possible that if the president’s policies (especially if he signs the Republican health care bill) start to affect Trump voters’ finances or well-being, many of them will be unable to keep telling themselves he’s a good guy who is just besieged by the mean-spirited liberals in the media.
--------------------------------------------
This is consistent with my observations. The only thing that could effect their support is Trump acting in a concrete, undeniable manner that hurts their finances or well-being personally.
That's why if Dems want to burst that big vulnerable Trump bubble, drive a wedge between Trump and them by pointing out his economic and healthcare policies hurt them personally. Trump is NOT YOUR BUDDY. That's a fact,and forces him to lie, be on the defensive, and show his mean side. It plants doubt.
