On my radio show earlier this wk, I asked Trump supporters if they were ok with Trump lying so much. I told them that I wasn't. The consensus? The vast majority of callers said they're ok with all Trump's lying because he's "their guy." Their response left me pretty damn sad.

You see, Trump-voters are misunderstood and economically anxious. The Democrats should work harder to understand them and to win them over.

1. the deplorables are hopeless at this time

but saner republiconned people are re-registering. I changed 2 myself. (Note to self--must do more VR)

2. It's all about "winning".

If one of theirs "wins" an argument because he tells the story of a guy he saw wearing a Democratic Party shirt raping a Persian cat, then it's all good, even if he made it up on the spot.

The Evangelicals got a huge headstart on this thinking.

3. IMO, anyone who still supports Trump is a lost cause. I think efforts would be much better

spent concentrating on GOTV, especially young people.

And about their fat ass racist-in-chief making it comfortable for them to put their racism out there on display.

As I mentioned in several posts, a friends relatives in Ohio (The friend stopped fooling with them in the middle of the 2016 GE) who had been doing very well under Pres. Obama have recently run into huge financial trouble due to several family members falling ill (Medical expenses). The 3 families were forced to move in together (Into the larger 2-story house of another family member), and they're not happy about it at all. However, instead of putting the blame on thuglicans/tRumpcare, they blame others for their problem. They feel like "Well if we're in the gutter, that's cool: as long as ni@@ers & wetbacks are down there with us. Yep, they're "okay" with tRump's lies, treason, tariffs, trumpcare, having little to no health insurance and with him "blowing this country up," as long as blacks/browns are down there with them in the gutter.

Oh by the way, these tRumpanzees are locked & loaded too--READY for the ensuing "race war."

5. Jimmy Hoffa

I saw this attitude in the Hoffa days. They knew he was a crook, in with the mob, but they didn't care. I heard union members say "...yeah, but he's OUR gangster".

This is the same basic population that is supporting Trump.

8. Politics has turned into a different type of team sport.

Just like people will hate the player on another team in sports but love him when he comes to their team, politics is nothing more now than a team sport in which their are winners and losers and the GOP doesnt care anymore how they "win", they just want to win and they see Trump as their guy to follow cause he's a winner.
