@georgetakei It goes back to when Ronald Reagan convinced voters that the government was the problem, not the solution. If you are against the government you are probably against complex laws that only apply to moneyed elites and white collar crime, and even more so if the government is trying to enforce these weird laws against your guy. Trump thinks he could shoot someone and they'd still support him. That is a bit different. I think in that case he would lose some, but not all of his base.
