2. He is as ignorant as his base.

He is proud of his willful ignorance and delights when people express their own pride in their own willful ignorance, because that expression takes the form of them thinking Trump is ever so wonderful for validating their racism and making them feel right and just in their beliefs.

I fucking hate Trump and his supporters. I'm not coddling a racist in hopes they vote a certain way.

Ignorance is curable but these folks don't want to be cured. Their ignorance is too much a part of who they are as people and they cling to it. The more you point out where their thinking goes wrong, the more defensive they get, the more they cling.

When you try to point out a fact that contradicts what they want to believe, they call it an attack on their person. They want their ignorance treated as valid, as the equal to facts.

Fuck'em all.
