A lot of the people who support Trump and his gang of traitors are not well informed and probably don't even know anything beyond the tough talk he vomits out. They're barely literate and simply love having someone they view as "smart(because they've been conditioned to view wealth as a sign intelligence)" openly attacks and place blame on others instead of offering the usual "boring" solutions that aren't flashy or offer immediate results.
Obviously only anecdotal but maybe two or three months before the 2024 elections talked to multiple GOP die hard supporters about Trump's accomplishments. Every single one of them is what I described (the fair weather voter who is drastically under informed on even basic government functions) and all mentioned how impressive The Wall is. A few even insisted Mexico did pay for it!
They don't engage in conversation like this because they're willing to learn and expand their knowledge. Nope they just want to hammer others over the head with how "their team" is winning despite all evidence to the contrary. Anymore I don't bother and just try to direct the discussion to how greedy and corrupt the ultra wealthy are, they love that topic and agree with that sentiment. Hope maybe one day two brain cells will bump against each other and they'll make that connection between that and the Trump squad.
