“Some 69% of Americans say they get excited about space exploration, and about 80% expressed a favorable view of NASA, including large majorities of both Republicans and Democrats, according to a three-day Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted during the Artemis II mission. Likewise, 69% of respondents said it was important to return astronauts to the moon.”

Trump support is currently at 37% and only 69% of people think this is valuable. A 6% overlap is hardly unifying. The few Trump supporters I know think the whole thing is fake.

Why would they think that? Is it just that they like him because he's a conspiracy theorist, even if he's also in on this particular conspiracy?
