The only thing I can come up with is that republicanism/Trumpism is a cult. There is nothing they can do that is too horrible to turn them off.

Also, they are fucking idiots.

Defunding and hijacking of agendas at public schools is partially to blame, as well as hijacking of the media by rethugs.

without a single view of MSNBC, CNN or any other news channels you’d find yourself really confused about the state of reality. And that’s just one day. Imagine a steady diet of nothing but pro Trump drivel for years.

That’s what we’re dealing with.

that a majority of the folks voting yes in that poll have no idea what "summit at Doral" means. The key word in the question was "allowed". They voted "yes" because they believe Trump should be "allowed" to do anything
