I can sort of see the how someone got suckered in to voting for Trump in 2016, a new radical face promising change vs a generic and unlikeble deeply entrenched democrat with no real promise for real change.

I can see that happening, but the 2024 election? Anyone voting for Trump deserves an instant hard face punch.
