Thanks for posting, dewsgirl! I think I have the thread correctly. Let me know if there are errors.

Here’s The Dead-Serious Straightforward Answer For My Trump-Supporting Friends

The usual angry, indignant, question from a Trump supporter is: "Why do liberals think Trump supporters are generally stupid/ignorant/evil/deplorable?"

The direct, no-nonsense answer concerning how the world views Trump & his supporters and that includes the rich, the poor, the malignant, and the innocently well-meaning, and 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 "That's OK. He means well."

That when you saw a man who made it his business practice to Stiff 90% Of His Creditors and then declares bankruptcy 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 Someone on Fifth Avenue and you wouldn't care, you chirped, "He sure knows me."

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 to protect them, you thought, "Yes! He's My Guy!"

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

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, "But what about the paid protesters!"

That you hear him Unable To Talk To Foreign Dignitaries Without Insulting Them & 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 watched while he Legalized Pouring Toxic Industrial Poisons into the rivers, the air, and has Smashed Clean Energy Industries & Promoted High Polluting climate disruptive and economically inefficient energy like coal and offshore drilling you have said: "What a smart deal maker."

That you have heard him say that it was difficult to help Puerto Rico because it was the middle of the 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 Evil Dictator of North Korea, and you have said, "That's statesmanship!"

That Trump separated children from their families and Put Them In Cages— managing to lose track of 1800 kids— and has opened tent-city Incarceration Camps in the desert in Texas - he explains that they’re just “animals” - and you say, “well, ok then.”

That you have witnessed all the 1001 other manifestations of corruption, low moral character, and outright belligerent rudeness and contempt for you, the working American voter, and you still show up grinning and wearing your MAGA and threatening to beat up anybody who says otherwise.

What you don't get, Trump supporters in 2020, is that succumbing to frustration and thinking of you as stupid may be wrong and unhelpful, but it's also...hear me carefully...being very charitable.

Because if you're NOT stupid, greedy, ignorant, stop acting like it.
