"Why do liberals think Trump supporters are stupid?"
An anguished question from a Trump supporter: "Why do liberals think Trump supporters are stupid?"
An anguished question from a Trump supporter: "Why do liberals think Trump supporters are stupid?"
Here’s what we really think about Trump supporters -- the rich, the poor, the malignant and the innocently well-meaning, the ones who think and the ones who don't...
When you saw a man who owned a fraudulent University, intent on scamming poor people, you thought "Fine."
When you saw a man whose standard operating procedure stiffed creditors, you said, "Okay."
When you heard him proudly brag about perpetrating felonious sexual abuse, you said, "No problem."
When he made up stories about witnessing Muslim-Americans by the thousands cheering the destruction of the World Trade Center, you said, "Not an issue."
When you saw him brag that he could shoot a man on Fifth Avenue and you wouldn't care, you rallied round: "He sure knows me."
When he revealed his own character by telling that bizarre story about the elderly guest bleeding on the floor at his country club, and how he turned his back because it was an ugly imposition on him, you said, "That's cool!"
When he mocked the disabled, you thought it was the funniest thing you ever saw.
When you heard him call women pigs and dogs, you thought it somehow cute.
When you heard him brag that he doesn't read books, you said, "Well, who has time?"
When the Central Park Five were exonerated as innocent -- men convicted of a crime they didn't commit -- he barked "they should still be in prison," and you said "That makes sense."
When you heard him tell his supporters to beat up protesters and that he would hire defense attorneys, you thought, "Yes!"
When you heard him at a rally urging the mob to confiscate a man's coat before throwing him out in the freezing cold, you said, "Serves him right!"
When you watched the parade of neo-Nazis and murderous white supremacists and he curried thuggish favor by saying "there are good people on both sides," you gave him two "thumbs up!"
When you see him unable to talk with friendly allies without insulting their countries, you said, "That's the way I want my President to be."
When you watched him first belittle and then remove experts from all layers of government replacing them with hacks marauders who profit by eliminating protections in the industries they're supposed to regulate, and said, "What a genius!"
When you saw him continually profit from his own businesses by leveraging his position as President -- going so far as to overcharge the Secret Service at the properties he owns, you said, "That's smart!"
When you heard him say it was difficult to help Puerto Rico because it was in the middle of water, you said, "Why didn't I see that?"
When you see him start fights with countries from Canada to New Zealand while praising Russia and "falling in love" with Kim Jung Un the murderous dictator of North Korea, you said, "That's statesmanship!"
When Trump separated children from their families and put them in cages -- then managed to lose track of perhaps 5000 kids... When he opened tent city incarceration camps in the Texas desert arguing that the "illegal" asylum seekers didn't deserve soap or toothpaste because they’re just “animals” and "vermin," you said, “Well that's what lawbreakers deserve.”
When you witnessed the thousand and one other manifestations of corruption, low moral character and outright animalistic rudeness, not to mention the legislative contempt he has for you, a hard working American citizen, you still show up grinning and wearing your MAGA hats, threatening to beat up anybody who says otherwise.
What you don't get, Trump supporters is that thinking of you as stupid may be wrong and unhelpful, but it's also ... hear me ... charitable.
Because if you're not stupid, we must consider other explanations, and most of them are even less flattering.

P.S. If Hillary or Obama had done any one of these things, every conservative in America would leap into "Benghazi mode" and spend the rest of their lives apoplectic, their swollen jugulars pulsing purple.
