Slotkin won MI-8 in 2020. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_United_States_House_of_Representatives_elections_in_Michigan#District_8

They were Trump-Slotkin voters in 2020. They are now - as you said - Trump-Rogers voters.

I knew many Trump-Slotkin voters. I say knew because they are all straight Republican ticket voters now. They want Trump's agenda carried out without question and have come to the understanding - after him running for the third time - that the Republicans need to have the House and Senate as well. What kind of person is this? I asked and here is their answer: Yes, we understand Trump may institute death camps. Yes, we - the Trump voters - may get "get caught up in it is well." The rationalization is that the "others" - blacks, gays, trans, foreigners - whomever the "outgroup" may be - will be put to death at a greater number. This is the thought process that the Trump voters I know use to justifying voting for Trump. It is a cult.

I don't care about the polls but then again I think Trump is going to win handily. The Republicans will win the House and Senate too.

I can answer the question about the towel. Extremely wealthy people are the ones who do this. These same people are usually but not always extremely racist. The towel is used to openly show their disdain for the "lesser" (not necessarily black or other - could be white but certainly "lesser") individual who may have sat in that spot previously. Considering Trump allegedly replaced the toilets in the White House because Obama used them - him using a towel in this manner is the least surprising thing ever.

This may sound crazy but I believe it to be true. Trump has had a database of gun owners since 2016. He initially used it to target guns owners as they would likely be Republican voters or right leaning. For him to use it to ban guns isn't far fetched. Needless to say - all the gun owners I know enthusiastically support Trump.

They don't. I know many UAW members. Some retired - some still working. They are all voting for Trump.

Undecided means voting for Trump but not willing to admit it publicly.

Trump was "sundowning" at that rally. This is common among those afflicted with alzheimer's / dementia. Music is used to soothe patients afflicted with those diseases. My Grandmother had dementia for many years before passing away at nearly 101. I am well familiar with what it looks like. Trump is grossly unfit for office.

If anyone had any doubt what Trump is or represents.

Most of the Trumpers that I know - to my knowledge - are not in dysfunctional situations / relationships. Most have been married anywhere from 20+ years to 60+ years. As soon as Trump came on the scene they grabbed onto his obvious White Supremacy / Nazi talking points like he was passing out free money. Most are well educated - some with Masters degrees, etc. Some are also quite young - voting for Trump because they believe he will Make America White Again. The young people I know as well as the old have a hatred of the other that is unmatched as unmatched as anything I have ever seen. And this is coming from someone whose annual Thanksgiving conversation amongst the elder generation was why did the Lions always draft the slow n****s?

Possibly but also White Supremacy is a hell of a drug. That in particular drives most of the Trumpers I know. They are scared to death - actually physically afraid - of the "other."

Donald Trump was sued for racism in 1973. That was over 50 years ago. Nothing about Trump is new.

That's because they watch Fox 24/7/365. They literally hear nothing but "Trump is great" - "The Democrats are bad" - "Trump is being prosecuted unfairly" - etc. They literally do not watch anything else but Fox.

IMHO "Not endorsing Trump" means being publicly opposed to him but still voting for him.

This is a good observation of the Trump supporter. Most of the ones I know view him as a Christ-like figure and their "relationship" with him is very personal. I know a few who actually believe that he is indeed Christ himself. Gas prices went down - "It is Trump's will." The Tigers make the play-offs - "Trump works in mysterious ways." Something bad happens - "Trump has a plan for all of us." It is the damnedest thing I have ever seen especially since most of the Trump supporters I know are not "religious" in any sense of the word.

It has been since the 1960's. Rally was at Macomb Community College in Warren, MI.

Exactly this. They were not normal, rational people and unfortunately, due to Trump, they are now not only openly racist but passed it down to the younger generations as well who were - surprisingly to me - delighted and appreciative of this "gift."

Yea - I know all that. Nazism was an export from Detroit, Michigan USA.

What I find to be the most mind boggling is after dismissing all the racism, xenophobia, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia and flat-out Nazism - over half the country is totally and completely un-American. WTF?

The Democrats could easily take MI-10 but have no inclination to do so. I know many people in MI-10 and they are extremely racist Trumpers. So racist in fact that they split their ticket and voted against John James for the sole reason that he is black. James won by less than 2,000 votes in 2020.
