Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsTrump supporters are naive little snowflakes.
They believe what they want to believe and disregard the rest. They choose which lies they will believe and which to discard. Because they cannot handle the truth.
They make excuses. "Well, if it pisses off the liberals, then it's OK with me."
Or, "It's still not as bad as what Hillary and Obama did..."
There is no line Trump cannot cross with these naive little snowflakes. They believe he was sent by God.
Maybe someone should build a large bonfire and watch them melt?

Generally, they have no idea what real strength is.

Abortion is important, sure. Most cons who are anti choice also hate women as much as POC, but hating those 3 groups is something they have in common and ALL that is needed.
They know that he will do everything in his power to harm those 3 groups. They rely on that.

(22,976 posts)Naive implies that, given accurate information from objective sources, one could be reached and enlightened. But Trumpists reject as untrue ANY information that imperils the status of their cult leader.
And, as you say, they cannot handle the truth, nor are they even interested in separating objective truth from the fabricated lies they ingest on a daily basis, steadily fed to them by the usual suspects of Fox, Breitbart, hate radio, Russian trolls on social media, etc.
Objective reality and American democracy are on life-support.

Beringia
(4,316 posts)He is only about 20 years old. His parents are both liberals and don't like Trump. I had thought he was an original and independent thinker, but I can only come to the conclusion it is some kind of sociological phenomenon in order to fit in and be looked at approvingly by the larger society. He lives in Alaska and considers himself rural, and thinks city folks are the ones who do not like Trump. It is so hard to wrap my head around. Because he is so young and vulnerable, I don't feel like debating him, though I saw a friend of his on facebook was doing this.
