We really need to get over this narrative that Conservatives are being duped by Trump. They aren't.
As @msolurin.bsky.social has pointed out numerous times: we need to stop taking agency away from the people who support this man.
They voted for him because he promised to hurt the people they hate.

They want to hurt you. That's it.
If someone walks up to you, hate in their eyes, and tells you they want to physically harm you how are you going to respond?
You think reasoning with someone committed to causing you pain is worth your time?
And instead of accepting this perspective shift and behaving accordingly they preserve their sense of self by lying.
Rinse and repeat.
Our realities are built on top of our values and sense of self.
So unless you've practiced destroying your reality and sense of self (or come from a demographic where this is the norm) then you're gonna be a dickhead at the expense of others.
Whenever you hold them to any point, it always comes down to “woke/trans/browns”
Every time, without exception.
