Trump Supporters Explain Why They Love Him

[Different Drummer]

[Squinch]

1. Everything they say is one of his lies. They buy all of it. And every one of them is being screwed.

[smirkymonkey]

6. Exactly!

Some of those people just made me want to vomit. How can anyone be so stupid and gullible?

[yellowcanine]

2. No I am not going to click on that. What is the point?

[gratuitous]

3. I like that she asked, "What specifically" do you like, approve of, etc.

The quick takeaway is that these folks know what they know, and facts or reality don't impinge on that certainty.

[smirkymonkey]

7. They know only what he tells them.

They are all mindless idiots.

[raging moderate]

4. Snobbery and/or Racism.

Every time. Every one of them. I don't care what excuses they cook up. They are always full of snobbery and/or racism. And so is he. That is the basis of their great bond.

[Solly Mack]

5. And we're not supposed to call them idiots?

[Different Drummer]

8. Nope. We're supposed to listen to them and try to understand them. n/t

[Solly Mack]

9. I did listen to them and I understand them to be idiots.

[Different Drummer]

10. Same here!

[Roland99]

29. Ha!!

[oberliner]

11. Is that Emma Vigeland of The Young Turks doing the interviews?

[procon]

12. If they were grade school students I would be having parent teacher meetings

to discuss holding them back and getting them enrolled in remedial classes and maybe hiring a tutor.

[SamKnause]

13. ...

[Shaddox]

14. Should be titled: "Delusional morons inarticulately report on inner voices"

[Different Drummer]

15. That would have been the perfect title. n/t

[lpbk2713]

16. All these idiots really know for sure is "anyone but a democrat" .

You can't fix stupid.

[Different Drummer]

17. +1. n/t

[VOX]

18. It's like someone looks at a zebra, but they're convinced it's a giraffe.

And no amount of reason, documentation or observation will sway them from their dogmatism.

I will never understand these people, in the same way I cannot fully understand the fascists in Hitler's Germany. It can be explained, over and over, about how certain economic, social and political crises and issues led to the rise of tyrants, and the horrible deeds committed, but there's still an enormous denial of reality, legality and fair-handedness of that people must undertake to latch onto these raging ideologues. That, and a blindness to the suffering of others. It's as if their DNA is wired to lack compassion, with zero ability to see things from another person's perspective.

You'd have to surrender your soul to be able to follow such horrible, destructive autocrats.

[BannonsLiver]

22. That's because it's a cult

[VOX]

31. Just as sure as there was a Jonestown.

[ooky]

19. Listening to them lie about his accomplishments

I just don't know what I would say to one of these individuals. Anything you say wouldn't help someone who is this stupid.

[Grammy23]

20. They overlook or ignore that he lies, cheats and runs with mobsters to

Get what he wants. They believe his hype and disallow what people who know him and how he operates to win for himself. They do not know the first thing about narcissism and how it guides his every move. They are enchanted by his millions and listen to him when he implies he is much richer than he is.

Mueller will have all the goods on him to demonstrate what a crook and a liar he is, but I doubt that the folks in the interview will ever be swayed by facts. They wanted a guy who would tell them what they wanted to hear and unless he has a Lonesome Rhodes open microphone moment, they will go to their graves pledging undying devotion to their false god. I feel sorry for them in some respects, but then again a part of me knows they will get what’s coming to them. A swift kick in the ass.

[BannonsLiver]

21. They're all so articulate. That's my takeaway.

[Comatose Sphagetti]

23. Kudos, Fox News

They're puking up your talking points.

[UTUSN]

24. Wanted to respond to each one, "BARF BARF BARF YOU SICK FOOLS!1"

[struggle4progress]

25. "I don't know what he's done but you rilly gotta admire him for doing that!"

[The Wielding Truth]

26. They are being led down a delusional path. I really feel sorry for their lack of clarity

and I don't want to be drug down that path with them.

[John Fante]

27. "He's a bigoted asshole and so am I" is the real answer.

The rest is just bullshit.

[workinclasszero]

28. Ironic as hell that this report came from TYT who did everything in their power to get Trump elected

So now they put cameras on the Trump cult nazi rallies as if offended. Shit they put these dangerous right wing lunatics into power!

They need to turn that camera onto themselves and the Green party and Sarandon and Jill Stein.

[Quixote1818]

30. His Father game him A LOT more than a million dollars and he underperformed with that money
