Yeah, but I don’t think the nutters make up the full quarter of the voting population currently willing to vote for them. Lots of them are protest voters who are just vaguely “against”. Besides, I don’t think it’d be the deportations making some people reconsider, but the sheer economic stupidity of the Trump government as well as their attitude towards Europe. I fully expect Americans to be far poorer and more miserable in 2-3 years and that might do wonders to dispel the myth that the far-right could “fix the economy”.
The AfD nutters aren’t reconsidering. They just see the deportations and go “yay”.
