In reply to the discussion: I am really stumped why college educated/intelligent persons support Trump. [View all]PoindexterOglethorpe
(25,811 posts)So my question is, what did he get his degree in? Did he ever take the kinds of classes (and let's start with some philosophy ones) that involved examining ideas. Really examining ideas.
The real problem of course is that he watches only Fox News, and therefore gets very little factually correct information presented to him. And no matter how you try to present real facts/news/information to him, it won't get through. Which is sad. And scary. A lot like Nazi Germany in the early years.
Oh, and did you point out that the body was not Trump's? Did he even care?
You also say he's not religious, clearly not in the conventional sense. But a lot of people, maybe most people, don't really want to think for themselves and so are happy to belong to a religion, any religion, because that way someone is telling them what to think. For him, Fox News is his religion. They tell him what to think so he doesn't have to.
