Oh, they know he's a liar. It actually helps him. They (median voters, not the hardcore MAGA base) assume that he won't do what he says he's going to do, which is how they rationalize voting for him. I hear a lot of "oh, he'd never do that, it's just a bluff/negotiating tactic/a joke/exaggerating to make a point", but they think he's "directionally correct", in the sense that they want things to move more in his direction, under the assumption that it won't go too far because Trump always lies and exaggerates. And his first term basically cemented that image, as he didn't fulfill most of his most outlandish promises. People vote for him more because they're dissatisfied with things under the Dems and want to send a message to them. As for the democracy stuff? Again, so outlandish voters don't believe it, and since elections proceeded as normal last time...
Well, those “Oh he’ll never do that” voters are in the find out stage now!!
Oh, he’s not going to deport my tia, or my wife, she’s been here 20 yrs, she works, & pays taxes; he’s only going to deport the bad ones, the criminals. I sure hope they see how very wrong they were.
Believe me, I know about trump voters, my entire family are them!! Except for 1 nephew & his wife. It’s almost impossible for me to talk to them, because I just want to scream.
So basically he’s a liar, & they don’t care that he’s a liar, he’s also the most corrupt president in modern history.
