"Even if it's not proven, I still will always believe there was voter fraud" - a Trump supporter in Georgia I spoke with yesterday.

I was circling back to folks I interviewed on a trip down there in September. All firmly believed there had been massive amounts of fraud, and most said President Trump’s word was all the evidence they needed.

The woman quoted is named Greta Hollis. She’s friendly and eager to talk and, like most Americans, genuinely dismayed by the country’s deep partisan divisions. Yet also like most Americans, she’s dug in firmly on her side, and sees the other side as dishonest and destructive

I'm reading a lot of the comments, and I want to stress that Ms. Hollis is not some brainwashed automaton, nor is she a rabid right-wing ideologue or an idiot. Like tens of millions of Americans, she trusts Donald Trump. Might be worth thinking about why that is.

I don't have an answer. But Ms. Hollis understands what she's voting for: "The Democrats have an agenda, the Republicans have an agenda, and you have to vote for the agenda that you most believe in, that is closest to your own values and dreams for America."

The agenda Ms. Hollis cares about is deeply religious, opposed to abortion and fearful of the tyrannical socialism she's being told Democrats will impose. And Trump's agenda is closest to hers. So she trusts him, despite there being no evidence of widespread election fraud
