The title says it all. The big rallies behind Donald Trump even with his clearly repugnant persona, boasting, childish, temperamental. It could not have been all 100% pro-Trump support.
I contend it was at least in significant part, anti-democrat support with Trump as an "anything will do" figurehead to lead that angst.
Let's face it; in 2016 all the dems had to offer was boys in girls' bathrooms at schools, under threat of financial punishment no less; and not much else. This on the heels of forced-gay marriage in all 50 states with the dying Ginsburg at the time advertising beforehand that (paraphrased) "The entire country is getting gay marriage and if they don't like it, they can shove it."
That type of tyranny spawned a movement. Falsely, I believe, even with the most zealous (unaware) supporters of Trump. Instead it was coming from a place of fear. There is no motivator quite like fear. And hence the YUGE rallies. And not admiration of Donald Trump. With his evident narcissism I'm sure it will burn like battery acid to hear this.
Was every single person in the photo a republican? Nope. Was every single person in the photo completely enraptured with Trump the man? Nope. Was every single person in the photo sick to death of democratic fascism under Obama and the Pelosi/Reid/Mook Mafia bloc? Yep.
Middle voters think. They aren't the blind chanters you find at either end of the political spectrum. They all could be from Missouri in that they are the "show me" voter. They can do sophisticated mental gymnastics like weigh the lesser of two evils. Evil Trump vs evil democrat fascism. They chose the lesser of two evils and they'll do it again: https://psmag.com/news/the-least-analytical-2016-voters-democrats-who-supported-trump
