Which brings us back to what we really should be talking about, namely how democratic norms are continually and systematically subverted in these (Trump WH) press briefings.

I suggest that is only possible because a large enough segment of the electorate has either moved away from those norms or never sufficiently backed them, so their support for Trump remains unwavering or even increases when his behavior challenges those norms. The disrespect of democracy is part of Trump's appeal for many voters--and the reason some in his own party (to their credit) became "never Trumpers."
