[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe you should recognize the reasons why he resonates with his supporters. If the root causes of their discontent could be addressed, maybe they wouldn’t be so persuaded by him. [/quote]

Maybe they are just… bad people?

Why doesn’t anyone consider this is possible?

This country has always had lots of bad people.  Look how much Jim Crow laws were accepted and how hard people fought against desegregation.

Some percentage of the electorate is just lousy and have to be dragged into civilization by the rest of us kicking and screaming.[/quote]They aren't bad people. It really is just the media they consume.[/quote]

I know Trump supporters. I am a private left of center person who has a wide range of friends.  I guess people open up to me. This is what I learned:  Trump supporters are not all Maga people (those people in your minds). G*d, I can’t even start: Some are parents of cops, some are cops, some go to church and volunteer or make food for their friends at church, some donate to food banks.  (I like church people bc they always bring me food!) Some are finance people, list goes on and on. But they are harder to label.

Yes, it’s an odd group to describe under this tent.
