Letters to the Editor: At this point, how can you reason with Trump supporters?

The Times published a letter suggesting that Trump voters are rational in their support of the former president. The writer stated that America is not working for many people, and that the central issues for voters are income inequality and the unfair tax code.

If that’s the case, why would a rational person support former President Trump and the Republican Party?

The Trump administration and the Republican Congress enacted a massive tax cut for the rich and for corporations. Furthermore, they tried to overturn the Affordable Care Act, and refusing to extend Medicaid to more vulnerable Americans has been a GOP goal for years.
