Trump's level of support is completely inexplicable, so seeing how people twist themselves in knots to justify continuing to support him could actually be instructive.

There is no single political story that has been done to death more than this one. And all the while the opinion of the actual majority is completely ignored.

You may as well go to Medieval Times and ask somebody why they have a blue crown on instead of a red crown.

...don't challenge them with the truth, and don't editorialize afterward about why what these goons are saying is totally off base, just uncritically pass along whatever BS comes out of the Trump supporter's mouths.

The possibilities are limited:
1. They're ignorant, and easily conned.
2. They are more afraid of Democrats in power (also 1).
3. They believe he will deliver their agenda out of spite (also 1).
