What the Trump presidency is doing now is exactly what they said they would do, so anyone who voted for Trump in the last presidential election directly approved of these policies. Nothing good comes from obfuscating the relationship between voting for him and supporting him.
The OP said "cheered for". Most people I know who voted for Trump claim to have done so "because the alternative is worse". They weren't cheering for Trump before or after the election.
Then the Republican party should have lost as soon as they chose Trump. He's not stable or electable. The US already had 4 years of him, and he was transparent about how he intended to run the country. Those who voted Republic knew what they were voting for, and decided that someone with fascist tendencies was who they wanted.
Yes, as far as I can tell, the marginal trump voters are less concerned about his fascism and more concerned that he's destroying the economy. I disagree, but...

Worse in what way exactly?
This kind of statement is a lot like the old "states' rights" pretense where the right in question was slavery -- the dishonesty is clear under even the barest comparative scrutiny.
