Why are Trump supporters so unwilling to criticize even some of his policies?
I like your question because, for a long time, I had thought the exact same thing myself but never made a post about it because I wouldn’t expect to get a useful answer from any of the Trump diehards. So I didn't see any point in asking. Like you, I have always remained objective, even when I supported a particular political candidate or leader in the past. So it was very hard for me to understand why, in Trump’s case, nobody who favors him can ever find any fault with anything he does. But if you look at it more closely, it starts to make a lot of sense why this is the case with Trump. 1. They are not political supporters. They are cult followers: There is a distinct difference between the two. A supporter can back a politician while still remaining objective and holding them accountable for their faults and mistakes. A cult follower, on the other hand, will defend their leader without question, even at their own expense, even to the point of personal demise. 2. They believe everything he says, even when it’s a lie: Since 90% of what he says is false, they are simply following the lies. This is why they cannot find any fault in anything he says or does—because they only accepts the narrative that he provides to them as the truth. Thus, they are buying into a narrative that does not represent reality. If they see a picture of the smallest crowd in history but he tells them it is the biggest, they believe it without question. And why? Because of reason number one above. 3. Many of them have no real connection to American life or its consequences: The majority of the cult followers on this forum are a unique bunch of Trumpians. At least two-thirds are not even Americans, so they do not fully understand what it is like to be one. Many of them had never even heard Trump’s name before he ran for president, so they have no personal knowledge of his history or how his family destroyed the lives of poor people in New York over three decades prior to 1990 to build their wealth. As for the one-third who are American, many of them are likely living in Thailand, where his economic, foreign, and social policies have no immediate effect on them. In short, nearly all the Trump cult followers here have no real skin in the game. That allows them to idolize an image of an orange person in a far-off white castle, one they wish were real, one they wish represented a world they would want to live in, and without facing any consequences of that fairy tale. This puts nearly all of them in a unique position. If you read what most of his diehard cult followers write in support of him, the majority speak in off-topic subjects, deflect from the truth, provide no evidence for their claims, and merely repeat the same mantras and lies he throws out over and over. To me, this demonstrates a complete lack of independent thinking and, in many cases, an inability to even distinguish fact from fiction. In real life, these are not the types of people I would ever spend my time with, so it took me a long time to understand how this phenomenon even exists. I don’t come across these types of people in my everyday life. But reading what they write on this forum has taught me a lot. It was difficult to comprehend at first, but it has been very eye-opening. I think if one applies the three reasons I listed above, the whole situation then becomes much easier to comprehend. Even when reading topics from them unrelated to politics on this forum, I have noticed that their perspectives and viewpoints often follow the same sort of irrational patterns. -

The military's involvement came into full force in 2023, with nearly 15,000 federal and state forces deployed at 301 checkpoints along Mexico's southern and northern borders, according to government data... Migrant caravans leaving from Mexico's southern border, which usually gather hundreds of people travelling by foot to the U.S. border, are being disbanded by Mexican officials. From January to August 2024, migration authorities intercepted more than 950,000 undocumented migrants in the country, 132% more than in the same period the previous year. This was the highest number of encounters recorded in 10 years, according to Context analysis of government data. https://www.context.news/money-power-people/whats-mexico-doing-to-stop-migration-to-the-us -

Is America doomed
You do not seem to realize most of the products you mention are not made in America. iPhone final assembly is primarily in China, India and Vietnam. Ditto Nike. BYD is surpassing Tesla as the most preferred brand of EV. Musk's politics have caused sales to plummet. Most sensible humans don't eat McDonald's or KFC. They know the food there is a recipe for obesity, diabetes and heart attacks. You have just under a million homeless people. 40% of Americans are obese. You have the world's highest prison population. Thanks to the Second Amendment, mass shootings have become routine. Why on earth would anyone covet your lifestyle?
