The Rank and File GOP members love Trump. Overwhelmingly. The Country Club Republicans hate him with a passion.

In my experience, people who literally hate Democrats, and hate illegal border crossers, are the ones who most love Trump. The hate, the love, are all emotional experiences. People who are a little more rational, and see things in shades of grey, and understand we have problems that can’t all be solved with a sledgehammer, aren’t as enthusiastic about him.

The “mean tweets” is usually where you can usually separate the groups. Those that love Trump actually probably love his mean tweets more than anything, even if they don’t realize it. But they revel in the good ones, and will defend every last bad one no matter how outlandish they may be.

Others realize that a sharp pretentious tongue often causes more harm than it does good, and have historically equated nastiness with liberal thinking and behavior. But of course we all see things differently, these are just my personal observations.

"we have problems that can’t all be solved with a sledgehammer..."
I have some reservations about Trump. I think his marvelous "vaccine" killed my brother. But I have been for him from the beginning, even over basically better humans beings, because I believe and hope his inner rage makes him the sledgehammer that is needed to really uncompromisingly kick a&& and get the job done. Maybe we can follow him in 2028 with someone like DeSantis. 2028 will be too late to turn the boat around before we are on the reef.
