1. Marking for later watch

[The Wielding Truth]

2. Low information voters. Just what we have been warned about. Trusting Trump is very dangerous.

[barbtries]

3. i can't keep watching.

they're literally delusional. it's disheartening. and, apparently, they believe the same to be true of us. sigh.

[not fooled]

8. Yeah

me too. I can't take it.

Just crossed paths with one of these people a few weeks ago. Hired driver. Voted for dump because "he's a successful businessman". Also thinks that chimpy had no reason to lie the nation into the Iraq debacle. The guy was catastrophically ignorant. I told him so after making him promise he wouldn't drive the vehicle into a tree with me in it.

These people make me

[barbtries]

11. they're scary.

the ignorance, no it's beyond ignorance. they are deluded. i know people exist who prefer not to think for themselves but have a hard time getting it.

4. Frank Lutz's statement that Trump "deserves credit" . . .

. . . for what was set in motion under Obama is perhaps the most idiotic thing I've heard in a while. A new president's economic policies don't even take effect until the new fiscal year starts in October, so that means we've had only a little over a single quarter for Trump's policies to have taken effect and to have rippled through the economy -- not nearly enough time to even make an assessment.We won't begin seeing the impact of his policies for probably another 6 months to a year.

5. These idiots lack critical thinking skills

[klook]

6. Trigger Warning: Frank Luntz appears in this video!

... although he does seem flabbergasted at Trump's staying power with Republican voters, so I guess that's something.

Only a couple of these voters seem to have any critical thinking capacity at all, and a couple of them are as egregiously stupid as we generally suspect.

There is nothing any Democrat could do to appeal to the hardcore Trumpers. It's worth devoting a little less than a half hour to watch this piece, if nothing else than to hammer that point home.

10. based on our recent wins, the key is to go after those who are already democrats

and those who aren't registered but would vote democratic if they did. and of course deal with all the supression and other roadblocks the right wing would put in place.

but trying to appeal to them trump voters is a waste of time.

those with any conscience like that woman will do it on their own.

7. Saving for later. n/t

[JI7]

9. dumb ignorant fucks just like Trump himself

notice the only one who wouldn't vote for him was the woman who was a democrat and already didn't like him. even her republican daughter hated him and didn't vote for him. but she voted for him because he would get rid of regulations in the coal industry.

but the rest of them are fucking stupid emotional assholes . they are the type that can't follow serious discussions so view it was elitist or speaking down to them. a dumbfuck like trump connects with them on the same intelligence and emotional level.

12. They voted for this Dimwit Goon because after all....he has a TV show!
