to jerks who vote against their interests.
Trump voters in particular were exposed to this buffoonish, incompetent gasbag and still voted for him.
They helped an undeniably racist, mysoginistic, xenophobic, crooked, uninformed and intellectually incurious carnival barker ascend to the highest office in the land when they had other choices.
And despite all of the cruelty, incompetence and dishonesty evident in the Trump Swamp, 97 percent of his supporters would vote for this asshole AGAIN!
For years, poll after poll has shown that healthy majorities of people all across the nation agree with
progressive positions on issues.
And yet they still vote for right-wing candidates who oppose those positions.
It makes no sense and and I'm no longer wasting my time or my breath trying to convince them of the error of their votes.
You cannot impress people like this with facts.
