    I’ve said it for years, you vote for Trump for one of three reasons (usually multiple of the three listed but at the very least one).

    1. you are a brainwashed cultist.

    2. you are a bigot.

    3. you are greedy.

    I haven’t seen a single Trump voter that doesn’t fulfill at least one of these requirements, and I still feel nothing for them. If I could transpose all the suffering they’ve caused to others onto them, I’d do it in a heartbeat.

      I read a comment from a dude deep in MAGA territoryand he said the rest of us simply don’t know how isolated they are news wise, everybody thinks the same and FOX et al play on TV and radio 24/7 in restaruants, bars, at work, at home, like they are surrounded by literally nothing but hard core propaganda.

      I don’t live there, but I’m willing to believe that at face value. Shit, USA/CIA has known how effective political propaganda is since they cut their teeth in Central and South America (they did it in lots of other places too).

      The sophistication of the modern propaganda apparatus would make Goebbels blush.
