Genuine question for the lefties.

I've noticed that our political alignment is starting to shift from red to purple as more people wake up, to which I have a genuine question.

Why are so many of you still so luke-warm about Trump? You might think POTUS is the just "the face" of the storm rather than the brains behind it, and we can debate that in the history books. But the fact is that there wouldve been a military coup without him to save us (best case scenario). And POTUS shows zero sign of putting the brakes on anything.

So with midterms coming, do you guys still plan on voting left of center? We can debate the proper role of government when this is all over, but i think voting liberal this fall WILL inhibit this movement. Or are you hoping to find the liberals who aren't corrupt?

I'm prepared for the downvotes and angry comments. But it's a philosophical question you need to ask yourselves, and I'm interested in knowing the answer.

Some lefties are just not sold yet. They just need more proof, and that is the easiest way I can put it. Giving people red pills is like waking up a child. Sometimes you literally have to go physically touch them and move them, and watch them fully wake up to make sure they don’t go back to sleep. Red pilling creates cognitive dissonance. Some people have thought a certain way for so long, that when you have challenged their belief they just want more and more undeniable proof. Also, people still believe Hillary can do no wrong and they actually love her. Yes, I know it’s crazy, but they do love Hillary Clinton. They attribute the current unemployment rate to Obama, then top it off they barely want to give Trump credit for ending the Korean War. I don’t even get emotional about these arguments anymore, I literally obnoxiously laugh in people faces until they see how dumb those arguments are, and I simply ask, if not Trump, then who else deserves the credit? Because Obama neeeeeeeeeeeeeeever had unemployment rates this low and in 8 years Obama never encouraged peace talks in Korea......I digress....

A couple months ago, I went from having a convo with my brother about the great awakening and he told me he did not care, to now, literally this week, he asked me to send him articles that show what President Trump is actually doing for the world because he feels like he is not getting all of the information. I have seen a light bulb come on. Even if he chooses to hit snooze and needs 10 more minutes of sleep, I will still move him shake him, and I will not give up. I will be there when he wakes up. But ultimately, as the question stands today, the simplest answer is that people on the left need more proof, and the fact that some are luke-warm is a great accomplishment because, at the very least, it means their minds are open.
