30. The only viable action is to fight them

They are willfully ignorant, racists and mean. They choose to ignore facts. They are addicted to the strong emotions Trump brings out in them. They cut off their noses just to spite their faces.

It helps if you understand the addictive nature of rage and self pity. These strong emotions are pure narcissistic self indulgence. The only way they would ever turn against Trump would be if he stopped feeding their addiction.

Thinking is not involved in their lives. They can’t get their rage fix if they think.
