Why don't trump supporters

[vapor2]

see that when he says he hopes the stock market crashes in the next 12 months they will lose their 401k etc??

1. Something to use during the campaign.

[onecaliberal]

2. His supporters do not have a 401K for the most part.

[Captain Zero]

4. That would be good to research.

I might take your bet there and bet that quite a few of them do have a 401K.
Somebody should poll them on that.

3. Seeking logical answers from trump supporters is a vain endeavor...

[Irish_Dem]

5. They always think they are exempt somehow from Trump's hatred and incompetence.

It is only "the other" who will be targeted.

6. Most of trump supports don't have 401K's, they have welfare instead.

[DemocraticPatriot]

7. A lot of them seem to be more heavily invested in meth labs....

8. Many Repubs are claming that stock market highs only benefit the rich..

..and that average working people are not affected by it.

I'm as "average" as it gets, and my 401K is pretty sweet right now.

9. Because they hope it happens as well

Not because they want to lose their money - but because it will challenge their view of reality if it doesn't.

In 2020 Trump said the stock market would collapse if Biden were elected. They don't want to him to be wrong. He is their idol, their oracle, their object of worship. He must be infallible.

Of course, when he is proven wrong they will just come up with a way of twisting or ignoring that.

10. Projecting reason on them is the fruitless pursuit

of finding bottom and a receipe for near infinite disappointment.

11. That's the thing with being in a cult. It doesn't matter, becasue

"He will provide....". Or so they think. It's magical thinking.
