How has Trump retained such loyal supporters?
Donald trump has done various things which would have sank his political career instantly in 99% of Europe, notably being found liable for sexual assault, guilty of 34 felonies, using the military to suppress protests, being closely related to a pedophile, damaging the US economy, attacking a sovereign nation, severely weakening American soft power, breaking international law and annoying the majority of US allies.
In the UK, had Starmer or Sunak done something even vaguely similar they would have been ousted in quick order, as I personally think it should be. As a socialist, I am not particularly pleased with either of these two people, but of anyone had done all of that I would want them removed, regardless of political affiliations.
It seems completely crazy to me that despite this, Trump's supporters are completely loyal, with only some exceptions.
So my question is how come has Trump been able to retain such an unquestionably loyal group of supporters despite this?
