    you would be surprised, only about half of the trump supporters I’ve met know about and support him for being fascist (among other things). The other half think that the deportations and basically anything negative about trump is fake news, a smaller amount also think they are voting for an imaginary non-maga republican party.

      I don’t see how that makes any difference at all. Trump himself has told them what he is about at his rallies, completely unedited and unfiltered. They support him because of that.

      The Germans have a word for the people who supported Hitler for purely economic reasons and not at all because of the fascism or genocide.

      That word is Nazi

        “I voted for Mr Hitler because he would be good for the economy, but I didn’t go in for all that Jew-killing stuff. You can’t blame that on me.”

        more crucially, not making decisions also has consequences, if you stand by as someone punches your friend in the face, you’re not their friend.
