The Washington Post has followed up with a few 2016 Trump supporters. Here are a few of the few; all of them are here. Some of the responses are genuinely heartening, some are near coherent, some are indecipherable, and some still call for large bulky men in white coats carrying butterfly nets.
“In 2016 … I held my nose and voted for Donald Trump. This time, I won’t be holding my nose.”
Jay Maynard, 60, FAIRMONT, MINN.
“However much or little you ascribe blame for the current restlessness of the country to Trump, he’s definitely not the solution.”
Max Mordell, 34, CINCINNATI
“If I were in a swing state, I might consider voting for Trump, but not Biden.”
Rhonnie Cough, 32, COLUMBIA, S.C.
“I don’t see either party working to fix …gen sygenucnely stemic problems. That’s why I’m putting all of my energy behind getting more options for our future.”
Kirsten Johnson, 35, MINNEAPOLIS
“I’m still glad the Clintons are not in the White House, but I will be voting for Biden in November.”
Howard Gaskill, 80, GEORGETOWN, DEL.
