"Why do some former Bernie Bros. support Trump?
"Multiple studies have examined the phenomenon of former Bernie Sanders supporters (sometimes referred to as "Bernie Bros") later voting*for Donald Trump.
Here are some potential factors:
Shared Anti-Establishment Sentiment: Both Sanders and Trump campaigned on an anti-establishment message, albeit from different ideological perspectives. Some voters who felt disenfranchised by the mainstream political system may have seen both candidates as offering a way to disrupt the status quo.
Search for Radical Change: Some voters who were attracted to Sanders's proposals for transformative change may have also been drawn to Trump's promises of drastic change, even if the proposed changes were very different.
AI Overview
*I contend this analysis equally applies to former Bernie Bros. who, although they deny they voted for Trump (and they are probably f@ucking lying when they deny it), share MAGA's hatred for Democrats and embrace every argument made by Trumpists against Democrats.
*Isn't that just a tremendous exercise of logic to go from supporting Bernie to being tickled sh@itless as Trump runs roughshod over our democracy and the environment, monetizes the Office of the President to make billions for himself and his family, extorts millions from colleges, businesses and law firms, weaponizes his personal Justice Department against political enemies that have committed crimes that exist only in his imagination, threatens judges that rule against him by whipping up his mob, pardons insurrectionists that attempted murder on police, enables genocide that he will financially benefit from, tramples women's rights, rewrites history in our national museum, activates the military against the nation's citizens in our cities and enforces the immigration laws in the most cruel and sadistic way possible.
