Are Trump supporters just fueled by Racism & Hate? (self.AskUSA)

Gonna keep this short and straight to the point, we all know how they act.

With trump siding with the Tech Bros Billionaires on immigration, even after his most die hard supporters were against it. I see several MAGAS just falling in line with Elon calling them stupid and that’s why we need more educated and qualified people to take these better jobs (whilst we’re on the cusp of deleting the Department of Education).

Anyone with functions eyes and ears can tell you they’ve been played, but they’re still deeply loyal to trump even though he back tracking on one of his biggest (and few) positions. Without mass deportations or hawkish immigration laws. What the hell does trump even offer to these people other than the occasional dog whistles they love?

There isn't one thing that motives one person, let alone large groups of people. IMO though, a large part of the support for Trump is that people are sick of "the way things are" and want change. There's overwhelming apolitical support for change, see the popularity of Luigi Mangione. I think a lot of people are willing to accept Trump because he offers change, even if it's stupid change and they know it.

My personal experience, I’d rather have no change, than stupid change.

That is not possible - e.g. if nothing else there is entropy.

The only constant is change.
