Yes they cared about draining "the swamp", that had nothing to do with anyone's taxes lol.
I guarantee they don't and will never care about Trump using tax loopholes and then lying about it afterwards, they probably assumed it anyway lol. Might be hypocritical, but that certainly isn't new to politics lol.
Do you think Trump supporters are the only ones who experience cognitive dissonance? I'd consider you thinking Trump supporters would ever care about his taxes as a sign of cognitive dissonance
obviously 'draining the swamp' refers to a much larger scope of an establishment 'corruption' , its not just about him falsifying his taxes.

Draining the swamp meant getting rid of unelected bureaucrats who hold a large amount of power within the US government in lifelong appointments. They viewed them as having undue influence on US policy making and blamed them for many of the problems in the country.
thats rich, considering thats the exact opposite of what he did. he purged thousands of government employees that were not loyal to him directly (people that were good at their jobs and of varying political leanings). he fired career federal employees and replaced them with sycophants - people that would kiss his ass and do whatever he wanted

The number of federal employees proving their agencies took prohibited personnel practices against them reached an all-time high in Trump’s first year in office, according to the Office of Special Counsel. The State Department’s inspector general released two reports this year finding that the department illegally engaged in the political targeting of career employees. Federal law prohibits agencies from discriminating against any employee on the basis of political affiliation, or for any federal official to “coerce any applicant or employee to engage in political activity, or to retaliate against such individuals based on partisan politics.”

I guess its easier to keep the fairy tale alive than it is to live in reality
