I think the median voter looks at what a politician says they are going to do, assumes they are going to do it, and votes based on that. Say what you will about the Trump administration, they are doing exactly what they were shouting from the rooftops that they would do. Grief people they don't like, sow chaos and division, start a devastating trade war on multiple fronts, and cause daily chaos and drama. They said it loud and clear for years before the election. They got elected. And, then they did it!
If I had anything good to say about these guys it's that they were 100% transparent about their plans and they followed up on them right out of the gate. Exactly zero people should be surprised at what they delivered. It's actually pretty impressive how faithfully they are delivering on all of their promises of destruction and chaos! In fact, polls of Republicans show consistent, strong and enthusiastic approval of the administrations actions, as they themselves fall deeper into poverty and hopelessness.

You mean lower prices on day 1?
Unfortunately some of us still remember those outlandish promises which we knew will remain just promises.
Doesn’t matter how much you push his promises under the rug, but we will not forget - how big of a fraud and scammer the current sitting president is.
Did they also shout - 51st state, crypto scams, private funding deals etc etc?
Yes, they shouted that they would commit fraud and accept bribes. Apparently people are fine with that and voted for it.
Nope! They definitely didn’t say that! Doesn’t matter how much people from your tribe try to normalize it, that wouldn’t happen.
What? Donald Trump regularly accepts bribes, he did it before during and after his presidency. He was elected anyways. People just don't care.
> Donald Trump regularly accepts bribes
Of course, he does! That’s why in the first place he ran for the office! He’s the most corrupt MF in the history of our planet. But, here’s your confusion - did he ever say he accepts or asks for bribes? No!! He wraps it all up in patriotism and his stupid followers suck it all up.
