Actual democracy isn't high on their list of priorities, nor is the truth, or accountability of government officials; they care about defeating liberals.

Media was talking to a group of older men in Iowa, and one of them said something to the effect of, who cares if the Russians put him in the WH, as long as he's in.

It really is incredible.

The same people who were screaming that Clinton was a threat to national security. The stupidity is off the charts.

is completely in the bag for Trump and will never change their minds. They do not care about our democracy, our values or our norms and don't see the problem with them being destroyed as long as they get what they think they want. People like that exist in every country and probably always have.

We need to not waste time on them, but rather fight like hell to make sure the majority of Americans (who are not like that) stay informed and able to vote.

"They would be fine with tRump shitting in their mouth as long as a Democrat had to smell their breath."

They lack any core beliefs. I watched the Leah Remini documentary on Scientology, she seems fairly logical, people she interviews don't seem downright nuts. So how the hell did they make such poor and ignorant decisions? They had it drummed into their heads that then needed to work hard for the church, give the church money, so the church could do good things for humanity and thus save their souls for eternity.

Sound familiar?
