The reality of Drumpt voter logic.

First I salute the person out there in the ether who came up with this.

Trump voter: I support him because he says what he means.
Trump: Somebody shoot my opponent.
Trump voter: He didn't mean that.

They just believe what they want and that's about it. They only change their minds when they are personally affected by something in a negative way. They can't perceive the consequences of a decision in advance. They are the types that only learn from making the bad decision and feeling the consequences of it. A lot of them seem to be bad at generalizing too, so they only learn not to do that one specific bad thing again. They don't recognize when something is related and apply what they've learned in the related situation. They basically suck at learning.

When Rush collected unemployment, he really, really deserved it. All those black & brown people are just lazy freeloaders. When another guy collected disability, he really really deserved it. Everybody else is a lazy freeloader looking for a handout. And, wasn't there a saying a few years back, "the only moral abortion was mine," describing many in the pro-life movement.

I have a terrified belief that the majority of his followers understood exactly what he meant.

the day after election day will be very interesting and the months following scare me.

They are unhinged and filled with vitriolic hate to their very core.
They hate blacks, Latinos, women, gays, wrong denomination X-tians, basically everyone not dumb, male and white.

The people who attend his Klan meetings...er, "campaign rallies" should be closely watched by the Secret Service and the FBI because when they lose and lose royally in November, they are going to be all ginned up on hate and fear and conspiracy theories, and their Talking Yam leader will be smirking all the way...

... "I support him because he says what I want to hear."

And if you think they don't want to hear "somebody shoot my opponent," I think you are gravely mistaken. What they don't want is to have to justify it.

Most of the Trump core is totally gone to la la land, we won't reach them. The rest of the country however are appalled at this second amendment people comment. It's hurt him and it's hurt his party.
