None of the ones that I know care at all. They see it as if their sports team won the big game. I have checked in to see if they care about Musk's Nazi salute, the response was "he was just excited and it was an awkward mishap". Checked in about their taxes being raised in the new policy, the response was "I don't know if that's true." Checked in about the unqualified appointments to high office, the response was "those are just smear campaigns by the left."

Honestly, short of Elon or Trump showing up on their doorstep and kicking their dog, I do think they will ever think "Hey, maybe he's not a good guy and doesn't have my best interest at heart." Fox News, Newsmax, and whatever the hell else these people have been swallowing has rotted their brains to the point that they will not see reality.

If their dog got kicked by musk or trump somehow the dog deserved it. That’s what we’re dealing with.

You joke. Sadly, I could see someone responding with, "I never liked that dog anyway."

I’m not joking!

I wonder what a similar article about Biden in 2021 would have looked like. Not to defend Trump, but this is exactly what MSNBC's readership wants to see, and it is suspect for that reason among others.
