text: The one and only unifying element that binds Trump supporters is their seething hatred of liberals, which pretty much describes Trump's political identification for most of his adult life. Of course that pesky fact matters little to Trump's base because they now see him as their champion against the evils of encroaching liberalism, and his sordid past is something they can easily look beyond as long as he's got their back, which they foolishly believe he does. David French of the National Review had a good article in yesterday's New York Times about how the Mueller investigation will do little to deter Trump's base. He goes deep into the heart of Trump country to talk with True Believers. He asks one old woman what she thinks about Trump's lying. Her response: "Trump lies?" Eventually she trotted out the True Believers' old standby when confronted with the uncomfortable truth about Trump: "Well," she said, "the Democrats are worse," which she believes because Fox News told her so.
