There really has to be. No matter what this asshole does, no matter how obvious his racism, sexism, corruption, stupidity, and incompetence are, they will see nothing wrong with him. There's a cognitive disconnect among these people that I can neither explain nor understand.

He could literally drop his pants, shit on an orphan then turn around and stomp on a puppy and they'd STILL not abandon him.

They are the end product of sufficient amounts of ignorance, credulousness, hopelessness and magical thinking.

Democrats will loose if they talk about nothing but how bad Trump (and therefore, they) are. They might gain some ground if they stay focused on actual issues with policy solutions that speak to their hopes and fears, and if they are treated with humility and compassion.

They are the same people who are willing victims of cult leaders like Jim Jones.

Yes my ex husband watches Faux News daily and is brainwashed.

What was your first clue?
