15. Actually, I think it is stupidity...

Because I have never seen anyone so happy to be so unaware and unwilling to become aware of reality as a conservative/trumper. They will buy into anything as long as one of their right-wing demigods fits it into their 'conservative' beliefs (and to hell with reality). Unfortunately, I have also discovered another thing. I was recently around some rich folks and they wanted to desperately to convince everyone that they were liberal and progressive, and yet once they started talking, it was obvious that they were just trying to play some game. Their every position was completely rethug, yet they could not see this if someone pointed it out. (Or, they would get all sulky and stop trying to talk for a few minutes.) It was quite the eye opener. So, don't just think that the big, old loudmouth with the dirty farm hat and the 'MAGA' shirt is the problem here, there is a lot of suspension of belief going on in our society and the basis of it is not just those who overtly live the right's ideology, but those who practice it while trying to say they are against it.
