These are the very essence of the Trump supporter...

1) an impervious shell to reason
2) an innate desire to be "right" at any cost
3) a loathing of all things counter to their view
4) a deep need for authority figures who "tell it like it is" (ie. - who reinforce 1,2 and 3)

That is these people in nutshell. Our problem is that 25-35% of the population fit into that basket of yes, deplorables. The bigger problem is the 10-15% of otherwise sane people who go along with them to be on the "winning team".
