[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will blame the crappy educational system which encourages the dumbing down of most of our country.  [b]Educated people will not vote for Trump for the most part.[/b] The rest of the world cannot believe Americans are this stupid but this is our reality. [/quote]

Polls do not seem to bear this out, though.

I agree with your sentiment, as I am truly perplexed by support for Trump.  The person I thought would be most likely to be pro-Trump, my FIL, thinks he's a complete loon and frightening for our country.  I have never felt so alienated and out-of-touch from a large bloc of Americans as I currently feel...I know a pretty politically diverse set of people, and I don't know a single Trump supporter.  Or at least not one that admits it.  And, like I said, the people I would most have expected to support Trump hate him, so my basic understanding of who his supporters might be seems to be off as well.

Almost any other area of policy or politics where I have a firm conviction, I can at least see and intellectually understand the other side (part of growing up in a very conservative household but turning out to be quite liberal, I guess).  I have no understanding of why people support Trump, but they obviously do.  And there are enough people who do that it can't be that they are all stupid or uneducated or unapologetic bigots or whatever names you want to call them.  I wish there were some polite way of asking this question in real life, but obviously there isn't.[/quote]

The only Trump supporters I have met are truly just stupid people. I would love to meet just one who can explain, in an intelligent way, how he or she thinks this lunatic is qualified to be president. [/quote]
