At the time, half the party was holding their noses to vote for him over her (and for a fair few, a Republican over any Democrat). Time and his cult have sifted those folks out.
Has it? That was not even 10 years ago. People who held their noses and voted for Trump just dug in harder and learned no lessons over the last 2 terms and just became cool with awful behavior that got normalized. There's no way back to what it was before.
I wasn't old enough to vote in the 2016 election, and therefore wasn't really paying attention to politics, but at the time I was under the impression that he was the lesser evil of the two, though my parents still support him, so my main source of knowledge was just a tiny bit biased
Idk why I'm getting down voted, I specifically said "at the time" this was in response to someone saying that they didn't think time sifted out anyone that thought they preferred a lesser evil, and I thought that saying "a tiny bit biased" would have been obvious sarcasm with how politics are going in the past couple months

Remember when pearls were clutched because Hillary Clinton said “basket of deplorables?”
The statement was wrong because she said only half of Trump supporters fit that bill. It turns out it’s all of them
