I think I know why. I think it's because they already know deep down that there is no chance that Trump wins again in 2020.
Trumps' presidency so far has been a disaster. He has the lowest approval ratings of a president a month into their presidency in modern history. Numerous Trump supporters have already come out and said they regret voting for him and he seems to won over literally no one who didn't vote for him.
But the most damning part is, he doesn't even need to lose any voters to lose in 2020. Only about a quarter of the electorate, 25.5 percent of eligible voters voted for Trump, which is less than Hillary, but also far less than the huge number of voters who just stayed home.
Hillary was a terrible candidate, deeply unpopular and not trusted. It was basically a worst case scenario for Dems and Americans were so tired of feeling like they constantly had to pick between the lesser of two evils. They weren't excited by Hillary, they didn't like her and they stayed home.
But now after they see Trump and his national embarrassment of a presidency, a lot of Americans are reminded of why it's important to pick the lesser of two evils. Whoever the Dems nominate it 2020, it'll be a better candidate than Hillary, but even more important, Trump has destroyed apathy in this country. People have woken up and realized how important it is to vote even if they don't think either candidate is so great. The important thing is to keep a dangerous idiot like Trump out of the White House.
Hillary already got more votes than Trump in 2016 and yet Trump won the white house in the slimmest of margins in a few critical states to win the electoral college. A deeply unpopular Trump only needs to push the slimmest margin of people who didn't vote in 2016 to vote in 2020 to ensure his own defeat.
Trump supporters thought his election was the beginning of a revolution. Instead it was the last miserable gasp of air for an old, uneducated, hateful and bigoted segment of the population that will soon never again matter in Presidential politics.
Many I know are playing the victim right now. They are being attacked for supporting him. And what did they do for the last 8 years -- of course, attack their friends who voted for Obama.
I do think that there is, for some, the knowledge that he is crazy and they get defensive when we constantly throw it in their face.
He's crazy.....getting his intel from Fox -- Tucker Carlson at that (is that his name?) oh give us strength
They are angry because they know most of the country doesn't agree with Trump and his win will eventually lead to an energized Democratic party that will ultimately pulverize the Cons in 2018 and again in 2020 and probably for many years after that.
This Trump win is the last gasp of air from the dying fish that is the GOP.
Also your post could easily have been copied and pasted from the numerous predictions before the election. Lmao
Just remember you didn't win because you won the hearts and minds of America. A small minority of Americans won the presidency because most Americans didn't see the point of picking between two poor candidates. No one is making that mistake again. Trump is making it clear how childish and unintelligent he is and the vast majority of Americans cant wait to send him to curb.
I think most of his supporters were angry people in the first place. They found an outlet in Trump. Now they can bully, call names, paint swastikas, whatever--and it seems okay because they think Trump would approve of it.
Not ALL of them--because there are some reasonable Trump supporters who just didn't want Hillary or they are (rightfully) opposed to hoards of illegals disrespecting our borders and scamming the system.
Some of them voted for Trump because they were under the illusion that Dems want to take their guns away. Some voted for Trump because he made them afraid and promised to make them safe. Others thought he would bring their jobs back. Then there are the religious extremists who are angry because their church tells them to be angry.
They were angry. They are still angry and the longer this charade goes on, the more they'll be angry at Trump for lying and making a mess of this country--because he's already starting to and given time, he will.

Liberals are clearly insane and living in an alternate universe where this happened
Lefties threatening to kill electors.
Lefties rioting in the streets
Lefties breaking noses of Trump supporters and pepper spraying them
Lefty news organizations making up fake news to attack Trump
Lefty judges violating the Constitution to insert themselves into immigration issues
Etc. etc. We've been over it before. It is because the Democrat party is now a criminal organization.
Cult members are always angry and confused when rational people don't drink the Kool Aid of their leader.
