We need someone to write a book about the unfit Trump voters.

I do not need to read a book about Trump. I watched it live. He's fucking nuts. Trump could not be president without tens of millions of americans being the same, Crazy, blind, ignorant followers. I see no difference between the followers of Hitler, Manson, Jones, Trump.

They all suffer the same mental problem. They will follow even if it means they destroy themselves, their families, everything. I would like to see a national discussion on this issue. I would like to see the mental health experts discuss this serious problem. Put a name to it, define it. What has killed more people than this mental problem throughout history?

There is only one of that miserable misfit. There are millions of his supporters. That is what is so frightening and unnerving.

I don’t think people learned a thing from the Bush years regardless of watching people lose their homes. Not to mention the WMD debacle when we watched that unfold and all of those criminals walked!
I remember watching a segment on Bill Moyers about the dumbing down of America and it was spot on! Just when I thought we had reached the lowest of common sense yet another go around of reality TV watchers who still never learned a thing as to what was happening to their country voted Trump.

and most are not crazy, blind or ignorant. They are our neighbors coworkers and the nice people we meet everyday. They don't suffer from financial anxiety or feel left behind. They live in nice suburban and exurban communities made up of folks that look just like them w/ a couple of "others" thrown in to give cover to their latent racism.

It's time to stop trying to pretend Trump voters are exclusively dumb rednecks and out right racist.
