"What Trump voters think" should be reported, but it shouldn't matter.
Their beliefs and opinions should be covered like those of the members of any suicide cult. We should be told what the beliefs are. They shouldn't be lent credence or framed as valid drivers of policy.

The New York Times is making me tap pretty hard on the sign this weekend.

And: it's no longer necessary to report on what Trump voters think. We KNOW what they think. We know we know we know we know, we never stop getting told what these people think.
When exactly do we insist they engage with what everybody else thinks?

Trump voters think whatever conservative media outlets have been saying the last 2 weeks. If a Trump voter thinks something different than that? Stop the presses.
Stop giving the worst among us the most outsized consideration in public discourse.

Moreover, it's offensive. George Floyd was murdered by militarized authoritarians, empowered by authoritarian systems.
Trump voters are authoritarians who support such systems.
When you're curating thoughts on Anne Frank's legacy, there are some people you ought not ask.

The murder of George Floyd at the hands of authoritarian troops was a tragedy and a societal inevitability, and I find no benefit to asking authoritarians who want to maintain systems making inevitable a string of future George Floyds their thoughts on his "legacy."
How about 41 million non-Trump voters interviewed on the legacy of Trump Voters?
We think you suck. We don't trust your opinions on anything, and we never will again. Our main regret is that we ever made the mistake of giving you the benefit of the doubt on any matter.
