41. Yes, they are loyal to Trump but I can see them maybe being less likely to support other Republicans

if they don't like something but don't want to go against Trump himself.

They want Trump in office and doing all the racist things but want their health care, social security , welfare and other things to continue for them. So they might decide to either not vote at all or not vote for the Republican .
