I'm sure HE knows, but I wonder if the followers have figured it out. Odds are they haven't if they're mostly "the uneducated' he loves so much.

"It’s wild to me that Trump’s fascism is only now breaking through as a major news story. Trump’s ideology has been evident from the start, and in every election cycle, his closing argument always comes down to white supremacy, fascism, hate, and white...I wonder about that part, that he knows that they know it's a Nazi show. Many of us on the outside have seen the parallels between MSG in 2024 & the 1939 German-American Bund rally. But I wonder how much his supporters see it.
He DID brag about loving "the uneducated". Maybe it's me grasping at straws, but as an empath, I can't understand folks cheering on blatant hatred unless they were thoroughly ignorant & just needed an education.
But some of how they react in on the spot interviews with reporters on the street reminds me of the book "It Can't Happen Here" & the description of Windrip's speeches: the crowd was energized, hopeful, happy... but they couldn't remember a damned thing that was said when it was all over & they went home.
It's definitely the theatrics; Trump uses his celebrity & crudeness & knows they won't think too deeply about anything he says & will still vote for him because he made them feel what they wanted to feel. Trump's own "useful idiots".

Greg Sargent with New Republic has a pretty good story about bogus biased GOP Red Wave polling. Only quibble is that the title should be:@benroyce @mastodonmigration @KamalaHarrisWin
I keep getting that line from Alfred in "The Dark Knight" going through my head when I think about this and Trump supporters' thought processes.
I keep hearing this in my head and it's more alarming by the day: “Some men aren’t looking for anything logical, like money. They can’t be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.”
