I remember that for a time I was a big supporter of John Edwards until... [View all]

I found out of his infidelities and treatment of his infirm wife.

I then dropped him like a bad habit and moved on which is what one might expect of any thinking American voter.

So what the fuck is it with Trump supporters???

Are they just without morals? Are they stupid? Are they so brainwashed that they vote against their own ideals?

Or is it that they are just so filled with hate of anything non-WASP that they will support anything that might lend credence to their hate and prejudice?
