Trump voters, explained

I think dismissing ANY group of people as simple assholes and a lost cause is a mistake, but that's just me.

Nope, that's not just you at all. Many of us see things this way.

It’s time to tell the truth: Donald Trump isn’t running a presidential campaign, he’s leading a cult

He is the textbook definition of a narcissistic megalomaniac who truly believes that he can live by a different set of rules and is superior to others.
The truth is, his campaign has never been about anything more than Donald Trump's own arrogance.
What we're seeing here isn't a presidential candidate who's built a solid campaign that's drawn in millions of proud supporters who believe in the quality of his message and his vision for America. Trump has created a cult of mindless sheep who've been instructed to only believe what he says, who are more loyal to him than they are their own country.
His campaign isn't rational and his supporters sure as hell aren't reasonable.

Fuck these assholes.

Republicans are illiterate or semi literate at best. Most republicans are bible readers or church goers who still don't believe in global warming, evolution, big bang theory, or anything scientific.

They can read Stormfront and KKK web sites well enough.  It isn't that they can't read.  It's what they choose to read.

I don't know what the answer is, but we are going to have to have some sort of major shift in the way we think about jobs and unemployment in this country.

Making higher education more affordable for more people would be a great start.

Making higher education more affordable for more people would be a great start.

Or we could all just wait until we are in our sixties and take classes for free.

... and on Social Security ... and Medicare ...

If those are still around.

I gotta agree with Thump. Better access to higher education, exposure to other kinds of people and other cultures, these things would be a great start.

We cannot have that with the walls he wants to build.
