I don't think that explanation holds. If it did, there would be more outrage from his own party. He is doing what they want. You perceive that as destroying America, which is why you didn't vote for him. But they think that this is good for the country. Polls suggest that they would return him to office a third time, given the chance.

He is destroying America whether that's his aim or he is just incompetent. Most people didn't vote for this. Many don't care and others are just blinded by partisan bias and cult membership

They think this because they are gullible and their media and leaders have been long bought by big business, which is now subservient to China and other international capital - literally that same exact globalist dynamic they think they are somehow fighting. If they would bother listening to their fellow citizens they might have a chance at understanding any of the ways they've been thoroughly pwnt for the past few decades, but they prefer the comforting "facts" from their own fictional universe instead. (and just to preempt the inevitable "both sides" whataboutism - no, my quarrel is currently with the party currently and rapidly destroying our country)

Red states are notoriously rank lowest in education, healthcare, and quality of life. So yes, if those are the policies they are unleashing on America then they are destroying America. The simple answer is that they are corrupt and want to be authortarians with complete control and dumbing the population goes a long way to that goal. So is controlling the "truth"

His poll numbers have dropped, so people are starting to shift. What’s fascinating is the how effective propaganda has been in the age of social media and Fox News. It used to sequestered to AM radio. For example, to see his supporters rail against universal healthcare as evil socialism and either getting Medicaid themselves or being ok being bankrupted by health costs is wild. Trump ran on lowering prices, but those same people who complained about inflation are now saying it’s MAGA to handle the pain.
