15. Hardcore Trump voters are hateful people; some were just taken for a ride

We'll never win the hearts and minds of hardcore Trumpanzees because they're diehards. Some Trump voters, however, were taken in by his hustle of bringing jobs back to their locales that he knew would never return in the same way and with the same pay they left. tRump played on their desperation for work and lied like a tattered rug to them in such a convincing way (to them) that even some Democrats and union folks in the Rust Belt fell for his hustle.

Most rural people I know are not very streetwise because they were never taught the street smarts enough to resist a con because they rarely had to deal with a slick-talking scam artist like DT. It's upon us to teach them the telltale signs of a swindler so they can see through their ruses before it's too late.
