“Whether or not you support Trump or not you should read this”

An anguished question from a Trump supporter: ‘Why do liberals think Trump supporters are stupid?’

The serious answer: Here’s what we really think about Trump supporters - the rich, the poor, the malignant and the innocently well-meaning, the ones who think and the ones who don't...

That when you saw a man who had owned a fraudulent University, intent on scamming poor people, you thought "Fine."

That when you saw a man who had made it his business practice to stiff his creditors, you said, "Okay."

That when you heard him proudly brag about his own history of sexual abuse, you said, "No problem."

That when he made up stories about seeing Muslim-Americans in the thousands cheering the destruction of the World Trade Center, you said, "Not an issue."

That when you saw him brag that he could shoot a man on Fifth Avenue and you wouldn't care, you chirped, "He sure knows me."

That when you heard him illustrate his own character by telling that cute story about the elderly guest bleeding on the floor at his country club, the story about how he turned his back and how it was all an imposition on him, you said, "That's cool!"

That when you saw him mock the disabled, you thought it was the funniest thing you ever saw.

That when you heard him brag that he doesn't read books, you said, "Well, who has time?"

That when the Central Park Five were compensated as innocent men convicted of a crime they didn't commit, and he angrily said that they should still be in prison, you said, "That makes sense."

That when you heard him tell his supporters to beat up protesters and that he would hire attorneys, you thought, "Yes!"

That when you heard him tell one rally to confiscate a man's coat before throwing him out into the freezing cold, you said, "What a great guy!"

That you have watched the parade of neo-Nazis and white supremacists with whom he curries favor, while refusing to condemn outright Nazis, and you have said, "Thumbs up!"

That you hear him unable to talk to foreign dignitaries without insulting their countries and demanding that they praise his electoral win, you said, "That's the way I want my President to be."

That you have watched him remove expertise from all layers of government in favor of people who make money off of eliminating protections in the industries they're supposed to be regulating and you have said, "What a genius!"

That you have heard him continue to profit from his businesses, in part by leveraging his position as President, to the point of overcharging the Secret Service for space in the properties he owns, and you have said, "That's smart!"

That you have heard him say that it was difficult to help Puerto Rico because it was in the middle of water and you have said, "That makes sense."

That you have seen him start fights with every country from Canada to New Zealand while praising Russia and quote, "falling in love" with the dictator of North Korea, and you have said, "That's statesmanship!"

That Trump separated children from their families and put them in cages, managed to lose track of 1500 kids, has opened a tent city incarceration camp in the desert in Texas - he explains that they’re just “animals” - and you say, “Well, OK then.”

That you have witnessed all the thousand and one other manifestations of corruption and low moral character and outright animalistic rudeness and contempt for you, the working American voter, and you still show up grinning and wearing your MAGA hats and threatening to beat up anybody who says otherwise.

What you don't get, Trump supporters in 2019, is that succumbing to frustration and thinking of you as stupid may be wrong and unhelpful, but it's also...hear me...charitable.

Because if you're NOT stupid, we must turn to other explanations, and most of them are less flattering.

Low I.Q tribalism

What are the chances that this guy has set core principles that he never deviates from?

I'd say in the realm of almost 0%

There's your answer

[StoliFun]

The list should also include Trump's birtherism campaign during the Obama administration, which was insanely racist and which his base never held against him.

I totally understand holding your nose and voting for someone because the alternative is worse. This does not explain rabidity of his base who line up to attend his rallies and also aggressively excuse so many of his egregious actions/statements.

[jtaylor2010]

That’s either some serious TDS or a great example of how effective a biased media can be....possibly both.

[Mike86er]

Cliffs?

[StoliFun]

Cliffs?

The FB post says people think Trump supporters are stupid because they explain away all of his myriad professional, ethical, moral, and intellectual failures. The FB post lists many of them. The FB post does not entertain the notion that President Trump's supporters have his back for everything else he gets right - no new wars/invasions, tax cuts, less regulation, conservative supreme court nominees, twitter trolling, etc.

Propaganda is a powerful tool.


My grandmother wanted to go to Stalin’s funeral when she was about 9 months pregnant... She would get stampeded, luckily my grandfather held her back from going. This was an intelligent educated woman. She just watched too much idiot box and listened to too much propaganda on the radio and read too much crap in newspapers. So she honestly believed Stalin was great and was genuinely heart broken when he died.

The same happened to this man. He watched CNN and they made his mind up for him. Be very clear, if CNN said Trump was great this man would post that Trump is great. This is also why hypnosis “works”, most people are just mentally weak leafs in the wind, you can manipulate their feelings and opinions easily.

WOW!!#! he's a racist too?

[SillieBazzillie]

Even if only 25% of the list were true (it's way higher than that), it should wake up all Trump supporters to see why people like me may think less of them for supporting a lying, moronic POS.

Trump U ALONE should be enough to disqualify anyone thinking this guy is on the up and up. Combine that with bankrupting casinos, the birtherism, his moronic writing and babbling, etc etc etc

[Sakeoe]

What a retarded post from that friend.

She

But this explains it well. Typical leftist female paper pusher desk jobber who never saw a Iraqi from closer than 100 meters while in Iraq. "Military" fking lmao.

[StoliFun]

Birtherism was very racist, yes. Trump doesn't think one race is superior to another, but he had no problem cultivating racist anti-Obama-ites during his Birtherism campaign, which led to his presidential campaign. The guy placates racists for his political purposes. What else would you call that? Melania has an Elektra complex.

Attack
Disinform
Divide
Pit Americans against each other. Your either 100% complacent and enamored to trump or your a purple haired leftist liberal socialist communist Marxist immigrant that needs to go back. There simply is no in between when it comes to the cult of personality. That’s all I’ve seen this administration work at in the last 4 years. Brothers against brother , no unification of America and Americans- actually the opposite because the “party”, “winning” & “trolling” is what’s prioritized over “We The People”.

I'll add the normalization of someone in charge who's not really into details and isn't concerned about really learning and understanding. Like being misinformed is now cool.

Even if he is a lying moronic POS - he is getting the job done and better than I ever anticipated.

Also - how many casinos have gone bankrupt over the last several decades. Rhetorical but the answer is a lot - and it was a combination of new casinos going under not long after opening and even legacy casinos like The Sands that were considered institutions.

Stop acting like his casinos closing is out of the norm and a testament of his business sense.

Yeah sure - its all Drumpf. Nothing at all to do with the rabid lefties in a perpetual state of hysteria - the SJWs, the "Woke" (identity politics) crowd, ANTIFA (anyone who disagrees with us in a Nazi), pvssy hat marchers, "Not My President", etc etc etc

You have to go back.

Do you work for a living? Does your upper management get into the details? That's not their job, nor do I consider it the President's job, that is why the team is so large. There is no way for ANYONE to be President and up to date with all the details of everything going on.

That’s my president!!!

Thanks for proving point.
Your either 100% complacent or your the enemy and belong on that long list of enemies you wrote. Which category did John McCain belong too:
the SJWs, the "Woke" (identity politics) crowd, ANTIFA (anyone who disagrees with us in a Nazi), pvssy hat marchers, "Not My President", etc etc etc?
There are way more normal people out here in the country that don’t agree with the sentiment of this administration and don’t belong to any “fringe groups” that you focus on.
Just regular people that don’t dwell on politics, my supposed enemies and don’t like the rhetoric coming from the WH.

I won't be the only person to say we're not happy that Trump was the person that ended up carrying to torch against the establishment in Washington but he's what we got.

[kskunuu]

Hillary was wrong about just half of Trump supporters being deplorables. Every Trump supporter is a deplorable POS.
