It used to be that politicians suffered in the polls when they flip flopped, but the only one Trump would suffer is if he went against his base.

Like when he floated that maybe the covid vaccine was ok.

    Honestly, his base tends to follow him, so as long as it's not a core belief, he could flip on a number of things without incident.

    It's disgusting and I really don't understand why his base tolerates it.

    I really don't understand why his base tolerates it.

    Because the relationship between him and his "base" isn't one between citizens and politician, it's a literally a cult following their leader.
