The bulk of Trump voters either do not care about the mass suffering he is causing or they like it. It's not rational, this chaos hurts them too, but people aren't rational.

These are people whose "news" is delivered directly by the regime and its sycophant media. They're irrational because their eyes get a steady diet of sand instead of light

To the extent someone in one of those groups does change, it will almost certainly have to do with feeling Trump et alia betrayed them at a very personal level. An ad campaign certainly won't do it.

And based on what I have seen, even when they acknowledge that he lied, betrayed, or hurt them, they inevitably still say they would vote for him again.
