All else aside, how did the warnings from high ranking military go unheeded?

Mattis, Millie, Mattis, McMaster...

How did all of that not influence people? And all of the people from his own administration that spoke out against him- how did that not tip the scales?

We can talk about identity politics and the economy all we want, but how do we explain away these things? Do rank and file military not care about those things? Do veterans not care how he treats the military?

This is something that absolutely does not add up. We have to be honest- it wasn't just left wing pundits warning about fascism. It was highly respected and decorated military leaders who are not political in nature telling us that we shouldn't reelect him.
