I already voted, but my vote doesn't count in Arkansas because of the
electoral college.  Arkansas is an all or nothing state that takes away
the vote of the minority, and the majority of voters are fruity enough
to elect a governor that thinks Trump was picked by Jesus.

  How half of the electorate, and most of registered Republicans, can
associate themselves with, nevermind vote for, someone who has said
the things Trump has said, shows this country has been taken over by
the inmates.

Our current governor spent a good deal of time lying to cover Trump's stupidity as the White House press secretary, and she still believes that he was sent by God.  That is the type of people supporting Trump at this time.  He is a convicted felon, lost his defamation case and kept lying about and abusing the person.  Trump is responsible for hundreds of thousands of Covid deaths due to his lies and misinformation that he kept putting out.  His supporters were so out of it that even though Trump had OK'd the vaccine development they still opposed any effective treatment that would reduce the impact of the pandemic that they thought everyone was lying about.  Until the unvaccinated became naturally vaccinated by getting the disease they were dying at 10 times the rate of those that had been vaccinated.  The unvaccinated still have a higher death rate than the vaccinated.  It isn't just their higher death rate, but they are responsible for maintaining a higher level of the virus in the environment than if they were vaccinated.  You can still get the disease if you are vaccinated, and the more virus circulating the more chance that everyone has of getting the disease.
I recently put up a review paper on the pandemic that claimed that Trump policy and bogus rhetoric was responsible for 40% of the 400,000 people that died of Covid under his watch.  Trump even admitted that he had been lying about the Pandemic, but claimed that he had done it to keep the public from panicking.  The dead can't forgive him, but the survivors did.  It is crazy to listen to Trump supporters because they seem to be clueless about what kind of tragically self centered person that Trump has always been.  Some of them have even become Putin supporters in order to keep supporting Trump's fascist tendencies and open adoration for Putin.  How could that have happened in the Republican party?
For whatever reason Trump supporters do not want to believe his white house staff that accepted appointments from Trump and observed his tragic behavior.  They were Trump supporters, but claim that a person like Trump should never have been president, let alone get a second chance.  Pence has come out and admitted that Trump had wanted him to subvert the constitution, but that he would not do it.  The tragic thing is that Trump's current vice president would obviously subvert the constitution for Trump as he has bent over to support all of Trumps campaign stupidity.  Any Staff that would work for Trump at this time likely would do his illegal bidding, instead of refusing to carry out the plans that would have made the first trump administration much worse than it was.  Half the voters still want to vote for Trump.  Something is really screwy among the voters at this time.
