As a counterpoint to that, there is really nothing “normal” about supporting Trump. He really is just as bad as his critics say.
This is the guy that retweeted a video of someone yelling white power in support. This is the guy who called COVID-19 the “Kung flu.” This is the guy that said there were “fine people on both sides” where one side was neo-Nazis. This is the guy that encouraged both police and rally-goers to get violent with the “wrong“ type of people.
Trump is deeply, unacceptably racist, and pro-violence, full stop. Trump is on the side of Christian white nationalism and there are plenty of people who voted for him who don’t even recognize it.
The fact that your typical upper middle class white suburban family with generally moderate views might have voted for this guy isn’t normal. They just can’t hear the dog whistles and have been, amazingly, convinced that that the alternative is worse.
Your post history indicates you're not exactly immune to making large sweeping claims against portions of the voting public either. You should take your own advice before criticizing others.
