Somebody Should Write A Book About Trump With His Deplorable Supporters As The Audience.....

It should describe how Trump has conned them and taken advantage of them and made them look so ridiculously stupid and idiotic.

It should chronicle how he's brainwashed them from the beginning and how he continues to use them currently.

It should detail how he really doesn't care about them at all and that all he cares about is how they make him look - and that all they are is pawns in his quest to destroy the American that he's told them he's making great again.

It should methodically go down a list of his decisions and asinine beliefs that he's conned them into supporting that really is causing them to shoot themselves unsuspectingly in their foot - his attempts at brainwashing them to believe that they are somehow benefiting - but are really being sucked dry of their rights as American citizens and how what he does will ultimately impact on them. It should show how he's reversed so many laws and rulings that will come back to haunt them or their children or grandchildren.

It should take them step-by-step through his lies and show how he distorts the facts to make them believe that he is being persecuted by the media/Dems.

It should be written to come off as an intervention to make them understand how he's used them to his advantage and not to theirs.

It should show how he's fleeced them of their money to buy stupid Trump symbols that add dollars to his bottom line. He lives by the old sayings that 'there's a sucker born every minute' and 'let the buyer beware'.

The chapters of such a book practically write themselves.

Now it's another story whether the deplorables would even buy or read such a book - but - I have to think that there are enough of them by now that either have questioned their support of him or have begun to question their support of him.

Certainly - the main stream media would pick up on such a book and communicate this to the public at large. Just look at how they are treating the Bolton book now.

Is such a book timely? I say yes. I'd rather see such a book be written before the November election than be written after the fact and he is no longer a factor to be reckoned with.

The Repugs are masters as 'voter suppression' activities. A book such as I'm suggesting could be a defense against 'voter suppression' or a 'reverse voter suppression' strategy. Maybe it would cause a number of Trump deplorables to question their support for Trump and may influence enough of them to sit out the Nov. election.

"people who voted for Trump," there would be very little overlap.

I remember a map of "counties with passport holders" and "counties that voted for Trump," and there was almost no overlap.

People who travel, who are curious, who read books... most would never vote for Trump, I bet.

I actually know a man who is educated, from an immigrant family, a scientist even, speaks several foreign languages, travels extensively, who voted for Trump. He's one of those who loathes Trump, but voted for him "because of my 401K". (I doubt he actually has a 401K, because I know the very large company he works for has a standard defined-benefits pension, but you know, "401K" is sort of a way to pretend that regular workers need Trump to make the stock market jism.)

So I guess he's the exception to my "Trump voters don't read."
He's actually a pleasant fellow, but even now, he's thinking he'll re-vote for Trump, because "Dow Jones." I asked him how he as a scientist (in the medical research field even) could vote for a man who is wrecking our science and health system, and he hesitated, then said, "But Dow Jones!"

I'm concluding that the educated people who vote for Trump are maybe just selfish (and short-sighted in their selfishness).
So dumb and/or selfish= Trumpist.

Not a group I'd be proud to join!

if your ideas could be reduced to a series of ads, some of it might sink in.

About a month ago Howard Stern directly addressed the Deplorables in his audience (and they are there) when he told them that Trump despises them, and that if they were to go to Mar-A-Lago they wouldn't see anyone who looks like them. Then he told them that he hopes they drink bleach and die.

I'd leave that last part out, but essentially let them know that Trump hates their guts and would be embarrassed to be seen with them in public.

On YouTube under Trump Can't Stand His Supporters.

He hates them and wouldn't want them in his hotels or golf courses.

I don't think Howard was making things up.
