(45,771 posts)2. Trump bothers me, but not as much as how many people who support him.
It disturbs me the numbers and variety of people who are attracted to demagogues like Trump. They are desperate and suspend even a modicum of critical thinking in order to believe him. They are attracted to his authoritarian demeanor. They hate whom he hates. They feel like satisfied consumers for choosing his brand. And if they are denied in November, they will not recede and go away.
They are the issue more than Donald Trump.
