Just echoing what WhoIsThatMaskedMan said, in my experience the "urbanites" absolutely do know this whole thing is a sham. A lot of them are socialists or communists. They know the news is fake. They constantly complain about corporate pandering like we do. Their reaction to this is "did they finally catch the bastard?", with a half-smile and maybe a wink to their friends, hoping (but doubting) Trump will get imprisoned by the corrupt government like the J6 "rioters". As long as something hurts the enemy tribe they'll go along with it. That is the moral center of many Americans today.
