    Even his most ardent supporters don’t take him seriously. They just love how he is just as racist and fascist like them. Not one of his supporters will be voting for him so he can make their lives better. All they want him is to make black and brown people’s lives miserable.

      If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.

      There is a not insignificant number of his supporters who think he’s saving the country from a collection of weird conspiracies (remember the pizza shop bullshit).

      • They are being told cities are raging hell holes (one of them I talked with was afraid to visit his local city of around 100,000 people without having multiple guns on him)
      • Trans people are either trying to cheat at sports or grooming their kids (something the Republican Party seems to disproportionately do themselves)
      • Libs are both too stupid to see all their “truths”, and cunning evil bastards who want to eliminate them, their gas stoves, and their precious fucking guns (again projection).

      Yes plenty are racist bigots, but a lot are dumb and brainwashed by social media, OANN and Fox’s constant stream of bullshit.
