What we need to keep reminding Trump supporters

is that Trump wasn't just trying to win over Clinton...he was willing to destroy our democratic elections to do so. Its not just a friendly competition, it's against the American people.

Meanwhile those trump supporters were constantly in fear that President Obama might lean too far to support Muslims or Kenyans or non-americans. The operative word being MIGHT.

And Trump actually does undermine our democracy with an enemy of the the west, an enemy of freedom and all they can do is say ho-hum.

It's that they don't like democracy. They'd rather a dictator tell them what to do. Anything really, just so long as they don't have to deal with Mexicans and other undesireables.

Even if you could show them absolute proof that votes were flipped during the election. They would simply claim it justifiable to keep Democrats out of the White House. Do you not understand they hate us? Russians are their allies and we are their enemies.

They have a lot more single issue voters, and anything that protects their stance on their pet issue is acceptable. It's not about loving Trump, hating Democrats, the Clintons, or anything else.

(Not saying they are all like this but a big chunk are, and this is important to remember. I helps understand how we got here and where to go from here)
