re: #200 ckkatz
But I do wonder about who his supporters are and why they are still supporting him.
From what I see online, including my Facebook stream, Trump’s diehard supporters (and not addressing here the sheepish Republicans who are afraid to stand up to him), there are two large groups:
1) religious people who have been primed to believe that “liberals” and “Democrats” are evil minions of Satan;
2) antisocial (gun porn addicts, misogynists hiding behind MRA , Nazi-fetishists, etc.) types who really want to destroy.
It’s the ugly underbelly of America.
Remember, not only did Trump not win the popular vote, he didn’t even get a true majority of the votes in the Republican primaries.
Trump is not really that popular. When Rasmussen pushes their push-polling that claims that “50%” of Americans “approve” of Trump, what is really going on is that pollees are trained to reply as if the real question is whether they want to belong to Tribe A or Tribe B.
