They're confusing the public's loathing for themselves for popularity for Trump. Every time they ratchet up the lawfare and patently unfair and political attacks on Trump, they remind people why they hate the people doing this to Trump, and this translates into 'support' for Trump. It's not. It's a measure of how much the deep state is loathed.

Per Fred, and he's not the only person to feel the way he does:

I despise Trump. He is a mean-spirited son of a bitch. His licking the boots of those revolting pseudo-Cubans in Miami and increasing sanctions, utterly unjustified, on Havana, are grounds enough for putting him behind bars. Trying to starve thirty million Venezuelans into giving up control of their oil, trying to assassinate Maduro are grounds for rehabilitating the guillotine. Beginning a cold war against China and driving a growing crop of countries into alliance against America gives new meaning to “stupidity.” This is Trump. I wouldn’t use him for dog food. I like my dog.

But: He isn’t Biden. He has my vote.

~snip~

But none of this is why I or half the country, will vote for Trump. Columnists talk about politics because they have to talk about something. The reason for the potential electoral explosion is much deeper, a nauseated, murderous, loathing for Washington and everything it is, does, and wants. a revulsion too deep to be expressed sometimes even among friends, a feeling that if someone blew up the Capitol with both houses in joint session, and exterminated the whole nest of bloodsuckers, we might get our country back. It would at least be worth trying.

Also, this guy.

Just because the Circle D Corporation acts like the gang that couldn't shoot straight, doesn't mean they are, and they're not going to convince me that they don't know exactly what they're doing in dividing the population the way they are.

This is from a lifelong Democrat who said she's voting for Trump in 2024:

The first thing people will say to me is "Stop lying, you were always a Trump supporter, you've just finally unmasked yourself." They probably believe that's true, it certainly makes it easier for them to sleep at night, knowing their monstrous, unforgivable behavior was justified in their minds.

I was with them when they protested Trump's win in 2016. I was with them when we marched in protest throughout Trump's presidency. I was with them all the way up to the election in 2020, when I saw for the first time the threat the New Left posed to our formerly free country.

I live in California, so my vote hardly matters. It's more symbolic to say that I do not consent to my government or my tax dollars being used this way. I do not consent to a partisan, weaponized DOJ. I do not consent to show trials or performative indictments or a two-tiered justice system, and I certainly don't consent to mugshots of former presidents. It weakens our standing in the world, it makes us look small, it makes us look insane, it makes us look corrupt.

Trump must prevail because otherwise they've shown us there will be no end to any of it. Once they're done with Trump they'll move on to the next threat. More power for them means less freedom for us in our lives, online, in our culture. They will never stop on their own, they have to be stopped.

From a clip, Doug Wilson speaking:

The administrative state—aka the deep state, aka the swamp...is an unconstitutional and illegal aggrandizement of political power in agencies that have no justification for their use of power over us other than the fact that they have it, and that to date no one has been willing to take it from them. The pretense is that these are delegated powers, but this is all just part of the charade. The three lawful branches of government don’t have the authority to delegate the things they were appointed to do, and still less do they have the right to delegate tasks that nobody ever authorized anybody to do.
