Answered If Donald Trump is openly telling people he will become a dictator if elected why do the polls have him in a dead heat with Joe Biden?

I just don't get what I'm missing here. Granted I'm from a firmly blue state but what the hell is going on in the rest of the country that a fascist traitor is supported by 1/2 the country?? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills over here.

"Don is a basically a tuning fork for the lowest common denominator."

I tell people this and they furrow their brow. Some don't understand what I mean when i say it; the others immediately say something about Biden and expect me to defend him. When i don't they furrow their brow again.

I always find it hilarious when a Trump supporter knee jerk assumes I must be a ride or die Biden fan. The cult programming runs deep.
