Rolling Stone spoke with diehard Trump supporters who waited hours in the snow to watch the former president stump in New Hampshire
Fresh off a historic victory in the Iowa caucuses, former President Donald Trump traveled to New Hampshire and complained to his supporters that he had to leave the White House after losing the 2020 election.
Fans had lined up for hours outside in the snow for a chance to see the presumptive Republican nominee in person — excited over his Iowa win, appearing confident he will once again be president.
During his speech, Trump said it “was ridiculous that we had to leave, but we had to leave, we have to follow the laws of our land.” He quickly doubled down on his 2020 election lies: “They don’t investigate the people that cheated in the election. They investigate the people that understand they cheated and go after them. But they don’t investigate the people who cheated like hell. We have to have fair and free elections.”
Of course, Trump is being prosecuted for attempting to rig the 2020 election and overturn the results in key swing states — and as Rolling Stone has reported, he and his allies are working diligently to predetermine the results of the 2024 election and make sure they favor Trump.
You’re talking about people who literally think there’s body doubles ruling the country or second military systems with one controlled by Biden and another still by Trump.
The education entrance polling for the Iowa caucuses was eye opening, even being in line with what I expected.
Have a post-graduate degree? 75% Voted for someone other than Trump.
Didn’t go to college? 75% Trump.
Not enough non-white representation to be properly aggregated.
Hard stance against immigration.
His support of ‘people like them’ captures 80% of reasons why they’re voting.
It all adds up to them disliking people they have no actual interaction with because the news makes them scary. Just raw, unashamed bigotry marching for the Oval.
