Trump's Middle Class Supporters Must Be Idiots

[McCamy Taylor]

Why else would the GOP imagine that

1) promising to protect the no exclusion for pre-existing condition clause--even though the Trump administration is currently waging a court battle to allow insurers to discriminate against pre-existing conditions and

2) promising that after the election is over they will give Middle Class tax payers a 10% tax cut, even though they did not include the Middle Class in their tax cut for the wealthy

would encourage middle class voters to go to the poll to support Trump and the GOP?

Are the non-rich members of Trump's base really that stupid? We will see. But the level of idiocy required to believe either of these two promises strikes me as inconsistent with intelligent life.

1. They're cult followers.

[JI7]

2. no. they are just bigots like most of his supporters

[dawg day]

3. I don't mean to be rude...

but "Trump supporters" are stupid.
Apparently they believe whatever he says.

Or they don't care if it's true or not, don't care about any of those issues... just care about power, or hating liberals.

[McCamy Taylor]

6. It's ok to be rude. Trump supporters are extremely rude.

And we got back what we give, so obviously they crave abuse.

4. Yes, they are that stupid - and racist

[spanone]

5. trump is the rapture to these mongrels

7. The Democratic Party need to set them straight.

It's a Herculean task, though. I see so much idiocy on Facebook it's starting to make me feel hopeless.

8. They're not idiots, they're complicit

As long as Trump stomps on the browns and the blacks and the gays and the Muslims and the foreigners and the uppity feminazis and the liberals, they don't give a shit how much he lies or how much he fucks them over. And if they get a $50 tax cut in exchange for losing their healthcare, that's just a bonus in their book.

9. Anyone who supports Trump at this point...

is one of two things:

Fully committed to the idea of White Nationalism, even at the expense of everything else.

And/Or

So willfully ignorant, that they actually still believe that Trump gives a shit about anything but his own power.

What worries me most are the much larger number of people who do not pay attention to politics or the election, who are just right this second, tuning in and starting to listen to Trump's bullshit, right wing populism.

[McCamy Taylor]

10. Ohh! Maybe the Trump base is not supposed to believe either lie.

Maybe they are just supposed to repeat the lies to their friends and relatives who don't know s**t about politics in order to encourage them to vote for the fascist coup. That would be really mean if the people they are tricking need their health insurance and will die after they lose it. But what do you expect from a Trump supporter? They would rather see their friends and family die than see a single person of color or a single woman or a single member of the LGBT community not suffer. They would rather die themselves --and take their whole family with them---if it means they can take a person of color with them.

[BigmanPigman]

11. Yes, the biggest idiots our country has ever seen.

And they are willfully ignorant and apathetic and just plain stupid! Morons voted for a fucking moron. Now we will all suffer due to their stupidity and selfishness. The minority is ruling the majority and we are fucked!

[Arkansas Granny]

12. Why limit that to middle class supporters? I think they are all out of their minds.

[Bettie]

13. To be fair about the tax cuts,

to the right wing the "middle class" is people who are merely millionaires.

They just don't share that little nugget with their devoted idiots.

[anarch]

14. a fair percentage of them are members of an apocalyptic death-cult

I hesitate to say they're stupid, exactly, but they are evidently incapable of rational thought. Brainwashed, basically.

Well, I mean, a lot of them are probably stupid also. But I try not to blame them for that...it's a product of the intentional dumbing down of the population by profiteers--it's harder to fleece better informed people than it is to rip off some dumbass rubes.
