I was recently at an event and politics came up (god I wish it wouldn't), and turned out there was quite a few Danielle and PP supporters there. I didn't really want to question them directly because I didn't wish to participate, but from hearing them talk about either person, they were two common themes. One was they are willing to speak out and do what needs to be done. The other is that they love how they are pushing the limits. The first I can understand if their viewpoint on individuality vs greater good, along with other topics aligns with theirs, but the second... it seemed they would get super excited anytime mentioned how much the "other side" hated Danielle or PP. Like there was some vindication in supporting that politician all because someone else disagreed. It actually seemed to strengthen their belief in that politician.
Never at any time did I hear anything about the future, plans or ideas either had, it was only how it pushed the buttons of others.
Disruption is the new thing that people will get behind. Same thing as the hardcore Musk followers.
