A Trump supporter friend on Bond Desk at a major firm is getting skittish "despite DJT's support for Israel" over his giving "aid + comfort to anti-semites/Nazis.
"I am unnerved by the anecdotal correlation on the desk of those who voted for POTUS + not getting flu vaccines"

I am curious if this is part of a purple wave -- resistance to norms, violations of social contracts, disregard for reality is working against that college educated higher earner cohort that helped put Trump over the top in 2016.
Apparently some supporters who have had enough.

While I am surprised it took this long, it appears the shooting of a Temple in Pittsburg was a big wake up call for many. Add to that the weirdly tone deaf )(narcissistic?) response, and that could have been the last straw...
Trump is masterful at manipulating his base of hardcore Fox Viewers, and he gets into their heads via 9 hours a day of "executive time" aka watching TV, nearly all of which is Fox News.
BUT HERE IS TRUMP'S KRYPTONITE:
If its not on Fox News, he has no power over it !
If its not on Fox News, he has no power over it !
Anything outside of that bubble - the basic human dignity required for a proper response to 11 elderly Jews being slaughtered by a madman - he is blind to that. He tramples into a situation completely oblivious to what is going on in people's hearts and minds . . . KRYPTONITE
There is no other way to say it but this:
If something is reported on CNN or CBS/NBC/ABC or MSNBC but gets little or no coverage on FOX NEWS -- and that includes a lot of factual + policy issues, he's powerless over that topic. No patented Jiu Jitsu media flips from him.

Its also why he only schedules his campaign rallies in Deep Red states where he is assured heavy Fox viewing audiences who really likes him...
He does not go where electoral help is desperately needed -- that would be a rational political/electoral process

Trump goes where his fellow Fox News bubble inhabitants live for a special experience -- the orgasmic splurge of Dopamine rush that comes when he and the crowd are in sync, hating the same people, as he plays his greatest hits for the crowd.
LOCK HER UP, they chant.
BEST ECONOMY EVER gets falsely said.
BIGGEST INAUGURATION CROWD IN HISTORY he lies.
They love him, he loves them, and they revel in the moment as the House and possible Senate slip away. Its an astounding display in so many ways

Look, I have no idea how this coming mid-term will go -- I assume its largely going to be driven by enthusiasm and turnout.
But if only a small percentage of Trump voters come to regret the deal they made with him, it could be very interesting indeed.

One last thing:
Regardless of who you support, PLEASE GO VOTE
Thats how Democracies function
