Millions will vote for Trump again. WTF is wrong with these people???

[Cyrano]

I mean, really! What The Fuck is wrong with millions of Americans? Trump should no more be in the White House than Charles Manson or Jack the Ripper. So I guess that millions of Americans would cast their vote for Charles Manson or Jack the Ripper for president.

We're talking far beyond stupid here. Yeah, his KKK and neo-Nazi voters will show up for him. But they're a small fraction of his voters. Who are the rest of those millions? Racists? Haters? Those ignorant and as insane as Trump? Are approximately forty percent of Americans brain dead? Beats me.

It seems impossible for someone to be more unfit for office than Trump. Who are these people who want four more years of him? Does anyone have a clue?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. He hates the same people they hate, and gives them permission to do it in public.

[onecaliberal]

7. It really is that simple.

[sop]

15. Yes, it is that simple.

They say they love America, but they hate most Americans. Trump tells them it's ok.

[IcyPeas]

2. he is a tv star. people love celebrities

they really see him as that guy on The apprentice. they are "fans"

[marie999]

3. Really?

You don't know how many stupid people we have in this country?

[FM123]

4. I think that for some of them they are voting against us "libruls" more than anything.

He keeps telling them that we Democrats are the enemy that they need to aim and shoot down. He is their gun as much as their god.

[Corgigal]

5. They have crappy lives,

and only feel better when they blame others. If those other are hurt in anyway, they think their crappy lives are better.

It’s really not, which is why they need to be fed daily.

[kimbutgar]

17. Yes

The mf45 supporters I know are miserable people struggling to get by. They think they are the hardest workers in the world when they are just like anyone else getting by. One of my husbands relatives said she is a hard worker and even though she struggles she is doing well. I looked at her and said I work hard in my job also and vote progressive. She got this discombobulated look on her face when I challenged her. Another who is in massive debt looks at us as if we are losers because we drive older cars, No credit card debt and don’t buy the newest TVs every year.

[Corgigal]

22. I also

see they are very envious. It’s what kills them at the end.

They see any one, even in their own perceived group, with a better house, car, or living room furniture, they lose their minds. They are never happy nor grateful for what they own, and how lucky they have been.

Want to blow up Trumpers minds in Tulsa? Have black and brown people drive around in brand new cars and trucks. Make sure they beep and wave as people wait to get in.

I would laugh my ass off myself.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

23. Like LBJ said, long ago:

"If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."

[lapfog_1]

6. It is a derangement syndrome

They have been brain washed by years of right wing media to hate us... to hate "smart people"... to hate multi-ethnic and multi-racial and multi-sex orientation societies.

They hate us so much they will run the certain risk of killing themselves to go to a rally where they can scream their hatred of us with the personification of what they have become.

[Alacritous Crier]

8. Racism trumps all.

[wcmagumba]

9. Doesn't the old IQ number of 100 equal average intelligence...

that would make 50% of people (by this measure) below average...so...yes millions of low IQ persons...

[RKP5637]

10. The US is now a lunatic fringe for about half the population or so. It used to

be around 25%, but tRump has managed to get it up to around 46%. The rest of the world IMO now sees America as a falling/failing nation.

[Phoenix61]

11. They've been listening to hate radio and Fox

Those are the only sources they believe. They don’t hear anything bad about him and anything they do hear gets washed away. It is a cult and they are happy to be part of it.

[Awsi Dooger]

19. It was long before hate radio and Fox

I moved to Las Vegas in summer 1984 and was immediately stunned at all the incredibly shallow white males in the sports betting scene. A high percentage had relocated from the South. They despised Democrats and couldn't believe I was a Democrat. They wanted to believe the entire white world was every bit as bitter and hateful and fearful as they were.

Those years helped me to understand that Trump had a big chance in 2016. The people I met in 1984 always voted Republican but none of the candidates mesmerized them like Trump did.

They are not bright people from a big picture perspective. They can be perfectly proficient in their own profession, and sound reasonable on other topics. But when it comes to politics they absolutely believe that Republicans keep their taxes at 10% level that Democrats want to assign, and that Democrats will take away their guns and their religion while tracking their every move toward breaking in during the middle of the night and stealing their freedom.

It is a nutcase world. I don't mind telling them that. I have laughed in their face countless times. They think I am the wacko for not sharing the fear.

BTW, that type is going to vote in huge numbers all over the country in 2020. Trump is going to rack up turnout numbers in rural areas that have never been seen before. They aren't going to meekly look away and allow their savior to go down.

[Mariana]

12. Propaganda works. nt.

[bdamomma]

37. yes

of course, it's in the dictator's sick book.

[coti]

13. It's the 40% rule.

40% of people are hopeless idiots.

It's just the way it is.

[Jeebo]

14. I've always been aware of that dark underbelly of the American electorate.

They've always been there, the bigots, the racists, the xenophobes, the stupid, the ignorant, the easily deceived. They were just waiting for a really good con man to come along and manipulate them to his benefit. So now, we have a con man in the White House.

Elizabeth Warren said in some TV interview a year or two ago that he is "nothing but a two-bit con man". I disagree. A two-bit con man could not have pulled off that stunning, breathtaking con job that we all witnessed in November 2016. That was the work of a highly skilled, accomplished con man.

I feel the same way you do. Every time I hear one of these polls that say something like Biden 48 percent, the con man (I won't say his name) 41 percent, I never feel good about the seven-point lead for the sane, decent man, but instead I always wonder, WHAT THE HELL is WRONG with that 41 percent?

16. It's a cult. Built by Hate Radio and bankrolled by the Koch's and their ilk

I used to wonder how so many people could have become Nazis and support Hitler, or follow some schwarmy jackass with black shoes polish hair to a small country and drink poison, but then I listened to a few hours of AM Radio while traveling.

These fucksticks would not only follow the Retrumplican Party to the summit, they'd gladly throw themselves off of it.

We just need to hope and pray that more of us show up on election day than them.

They'd send their underage daughters to an Epstein/Donnie Shit for Brains hosted sleepover and then say; "maybe my girl will marry into riches".

Seriously, they would fucking do that in a heartbeat.

[tazkcmo]

18. I blame the water.

Not really. They're just f'ing idiots.

[bluestarone]

20. It's really scary what we are ALL witnessing.

Even half our police force will probably join the trumpy base! RUMPASS will give the word to these crazy fucks to revolt! I really worry it's going to come down to weapons to stop them! I hope i'm wrtong BUT man we are in CRAZY TIMES for sure!

[Grasswire2]

21. They hate liberals more than they can understand the good that would befall them..

....under Democratic governance.

[ooky]

40. This.

These people have been brainwashed into hating liberals their entire lives.

[snort]

24. Millions of people simply aren't that bright.

They tend to be tribal and are easily swayed. They have been convinced that a political win means a personal win, like sports.

[majam]

25. WTF

That's awful ... I can't believe it

[GeorgeGist]

26. FOX 'News' and other right-wing propaganda sites ...

have addled the brains of fragile wypipo.

[shanti]

27. White privilege

They are fighting to hold on to the status quo, especially LEO.

[Aristus]

28. Everything.

n/t

[BComplex]

29. fox news - fox news - fox news - fox news: They are destroying our country.

Rupert Murdock needs to just go somewhere and die. And he needs to take his little right wing spawn with him.

[JHB]

30. Decades of propaganda to push their hot buttons for political gain

They got doggie treats to perform tricks, but always felt shorted on the kibble and belly rubs.

Trump just tore open a few bags and said "Have all you like!"

[stillcool]

31. As far as I can tell...they are white people...

and they hate everyone who isn't just like them. And I mean just like them. You fart sideways you're out.

[hamsterjill]

35. I am in San Antonio, Texas and I am constantly amazed

At the number of Hispanic people who vehemently support Trump. To me, it’s more people who are part of the Evangelical crazies than anything to do with skin color.

[Kablooie]

32. Many Republicans consistently support representatives that vote against their interests.

They've been taught that it's better to vote for a Republican that will ruin your life than a Democrat who will try to help it.

It's blind, cult toadyism without any real thought behind it.

[Shrike47]

33. They believe that big cities are wall to wall anarchy, filth, slums and misery, due to Democrats.

Rush Limbaugh pushes this kind of thing daily, as do the other right-wing nut jobs. Big cities are mis-managed by Dems, voted in by minority people who are uneducated, godless and stupid, and are therefore awful places to live.

They are somehow blind to reality. It is discouraging.

[hamsterjill]

34. They are crazies!

You cannot be a rational person and believe this country is in a good place. These people are the crazies. The nuts. The conspiracy theory, wacky Evangelical extremists who believe (stress that word “believe”) that they know more than all of the rest of us because they have some gift that the rest of us do not have.

And make no mistake, they are not retrievable nor convertible. They will never see reason
or logic. Our only hope is to outnumber them. Massively outnumber them.

[Yeehah]

36. Millions followed Hitler too

Humans are not that smart and many are easily manipulated by fascist propaganda.

[bdamomma]

38. or any

other fascist dictator. It's a shame, arrogance breeds ignorance, or the visa versa.

[struggle4progress]

39. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to turn out more voters on our side

[moondust]

41. Self-righteous fools.

Organized religion can do that to incurious people who may never develop critical thinking skills.

[jcmaine72]

42. These people represent a clear and present danger to POC and the LGBT community.

And everyone else, for that matter. We live in a society that keeps track of dangerous sex offenders because of the real threat they pose to their communities. Trump supporters are really no different in terms of the danger their support for this monster poses to communities across this nation, including their own. Maybe we should start keeping track of them as well.
