    What the fuck is wrong with these republicans who still think hes the greatest president ever? Are they just purely racism and hatred and see him as their mascot? Are they so stupid and uninformed that they drink the koolaid and believe everything that comes out of Fox News and Trumps mouth? I have never understood what people see in that piece of shit. I have hated since back in the day when he did his stupid ass cameo in Home Alone 2. He has always been a sleazy fucking rat bastard that turns everything he touches to shit. I can’t believe that so many people bought the bullshit persona they made up for him on the Apprentice…

      Humans are social creatures. Facts don’t matter. Emotions and social belonging matter. So people who are just immersed in trump-stuff are going to think it’s all normal and good, and reject contrary facts from the out group.

      This is part of why right wing media is so dangerous. It feeds the in-group solidarity

        They’re annoyed that people experience empathy and curiosity.

        They don’t.

        They just want to be ignorant bigots without challenge or second thought.

        They’re tired of living with people who are genuinely BETTER HUMAN BEINGS than them.

        It makes them feel weak and stupid and pathetic.

        Don’t hide. Be loud. Remind them. Don’t let them get a moment of respite from the crushing weight of ideas that come from people who actually give a shit.

      I started it when Jordon Klepper starts to speak. He gives a really good idea of what he things they’re thinking and why. He’s a great source since he’s been interviewing them since the beginning. (37:21) https://youtu.be/oLoXaZoeCoE?t=2241

      The rest of it is great too, but this deals with your question directly.
