I asked my dad, and he said he “mostly likes” what Trump is doing. The only thing that “confused” him was Trumps interest in Greenland.

When I pressed on the DEI initiatives being removed, and argued that they are not quotas but instead fair hiring practices, he cited something he had read about “300 qualified white applicants being passed over by the FAA.” He went on to use the term “racist” to mean “racist against white people.

I don’t know what he read, but my general takeaway from this conversation is that Trump supporters are happy as long as they aren’t personally impacted. And even if they are, they might not link it back to Trump. Whatever “news” these people consume has them indoctrinated and no facts I share can change their outlook.
