    Trump amplifies and justifies the way they have always felt. If it wasn’t MAGA it would be something else.

    They need mass therapy.

      Maga is their form of mass therapy, you could never, ever convince them they were wrong about anything ever.

      This is the whole reason we have education, to teach people they could be wrong about something complicated, that it’s not the end of the world, and that they could learn and grow from the experience.

      Can’t teach people who think being wrong about anything means they aren’t the perfect, chosen of their God.

    Oh brother, she went from “I pity Trump supporters because they’re just too stupid to understand why he’s a bad man” to full-on “they’re sad, racist and stupid, and there’s just no helping them”. She just can’t help but look down on the tens of millions of people who plan to vote for him for a variety of reasons. The constant elitism coming from the left isn’t doing them any favors.

      I was a republican until I moved from the Midwest to the south.

      They’re completely underselling it, the south fought a war against America to keep humans as pets, then after they lost just kept doing it anyway.

      Hitler wrote about Jim Crow in Mein Kampf as an example for Germany to follow. Black GIs came home from fighting fascism to be lynched for being uppity, and they still worship their heritage of brutal genocide with nostalgia.

      The only thing the south ever, EVER cared about was that at least they were better than black people, they were hardcore socialists Ala Huey Long till LBJ passed civil rights, then they immediately switched to the GOP who welcomed them with open hoods.

      Please don’t talk about things you haven’t experienced first hand, you people have just had the luxury of ignoring them until now.

      – sincerely, a brown person who escaped the south
