Letter to the Editor: Just tell me why

Millions of American don’t seem to care that Donald Trump was convicted of sexual assault or that he is a liar, a bully, dishonest in his business dealings, that he encouraged his followers to storm the United Stataes Capitol to try and stop Congress from certifying election results — injuring hundreds of police officers, watching this for three hours, making no attempt to stop their assault — a dereliction of duty.

Millions of Americans don’t seem to care that Donals Trump referred to those buried in a U.S. military cemetery as losers.

It seems that regardless of what Donals Trump says or does, millions will still be Trumpers.

It seems very possible that if givens a choice, millions of Americans would choose Donald Trump over democracy. Why?
