4. I just don't get the attraction. He's certainly not handsome or charismatic. He can't form a

complete sentence, he's certainly not a "stud". Other than the fact that he hates the same people they hate, I don't get it. If they had an ounce of sense, they would realize that he hates them too. Maybe they just like being used.

5. He gave people "permission" to hate the other

7. I've wondered that...

ever since I saw that ridiculous golden statue with Trump's head on it at last year's CPAC convention. They were bowing down to that thing like the proverbial Golden Calf then.



By the way, this statue of the "golden calf" was manufactured in China.

10. The ORANGE JACKASS liberated their inner deplorable

The open expression of their bigotry and hatred had been met with condemnation ever since the Civil Rights movement gained traction and successful legislation began bending the long arc of the moral universe towards justice.

Then along came the orange embodiment of everything within them which had been suppressed -- the long simmering resentments and fears that "their country" (supremacy of the White Christian patriarchy) was being taken from them by mongrel races, sexual deviants, and godless liberals.

The most amoral POS ever to befoul our national political scene mainstreamed and validated the worst that was within them, and they love him for it.
