(21 posts)I must say, however, that a small group of my family are Trump supporters and they aren't f***heads, but they are stupid. In addition, they are the ones who always need help from me and my anti-trumper family members in dealing with real world issues like how to file their insurance claims, their taxes, and do absolutely anything online. One last night told me he can't read the IRS instructions online and has to pick up the printed instructions from the library because he doesn't have enough ink in his printer to print them out.
He also has accounts with twelve different banks that he's never setup for online access and he lost all his paper statements in a fire, so now has to physically go to each bank to get the paperwork he needs to do his taxes. He tells me it's going to take him months.
On the other hand, when he is online he's dangerous and vulnerable. He clicks on EVERYTHING! He's deluged with junk emails, ransomware and more.
I've noticed on other forums that many of them never post links to articles, so I'm wondering if they don't have decent internet access or if they just don't know how to use it, so they only get their talking points from right wing radio and Faux News.
