    I talk to this Trump supporter from time to time and ask why he doesn’t trust all these groups but singularly trusts a conman like Trump. Nothing substantive. It just boils down to blind religious faith. A cult.

        They’re one of those, “Nice guy… Little on the dumb side” kind of people.

        They truly have no foresight and no capacity to see in the rear-view mirror. They’ve fallen prey to the manosphere youtube / twitter / social media fake news and have been told that any outside news is nonsense. They truly live in an alternate universe where Trump kicks ass and Democrats are the bad guys.

        Legit, he completely fell hook, line, and sinker for the “Democrats were the Slavers, so that means they’re bad today” thing.
