I genuinely don't know what you're speaking about. I agree that trying to see things from another's perspective is important, but when I listen to Trump supporters explain their views they don't say the things you're saying. You describe Musk as part of an elite the downtrodden see with much contempt, but Trump campaigned on an explicit promise to empower Musk, and he's now one of the many billionaires with influential roles in the US government. The most common explanation I hear from Trump supporters is that they wanted an immigration crackdown and he's by far the most anti-immigration candidate available.
If it were a matter of people with nothing to lose not caring about American institutions, wouldn't we expect to see lower income voters heavily leaning one way?
