Here is the leading opposition candidate saying, verbatim, during the genocide in Gaza: "as commander in chief, I will ensure America always has the strongest, MOST LETHAL fighting force in the world" To which the crowd responded by chanting "USA USA USA". The USA is a fascist and genocidal empire, no matter which of the two flavours of imperialism is in the White House.

I honestly think it had more to do with Trump being able to admit things weren't being handled well. Not that his handling would be better, but he was at least able to say "they're doing a shit job."
It's one of the reasons the right wing gets more support in times of crisis. Liberals focus on suppressing the left, so they can't say anything and the only other people out there who are at least willing to point out how shit everything is, are the rabid fascists. They're wrong about why things are bad, but at least they're not going not-listening about the world
