In reply to the discussion: An encounter with a Trump supporter [View all]pnwest
(3,266 posts)understand when I run into people like this who are reasonable, nice people but are such brainwashed zombies when it comes to trump. Its such an odd, weird juxtaposition of slavish, zombie-like worship against the backdrop of otherwise normal, common sense behaviors in the entire remainder of their existence. It frightens me because I just cannot explain it - or predict it - and makes me wonder how widespread this crazy, brain-eating, trump worship virus really is. It frightens me how impossible it is to reason with these people. Their unshakable resoluteness about trump is so weird. So twilight zone. Beyond shock, I feel actual fear when I run into one of these situations. Because the limbaugh/ Fox News / republican campaign to create a cult is working. On a very, very large scale. And Im afraid.
