Their ignorance is the reason they are people without hope, it drives their anger.

People like Trump because he attacks, insults people. He is their voice. They go to his rallies because he allows them to scream insults. He allows them to vent their anger.

Trump voters are the parents you see show up at a high school football game to scream, swear, insult the other teams players. They start fights. They are rude ignorant assholes.

Trump voters are the people among us who can never be truly happy or satisfied. They don't take the time to figure out what is making they so unhappy, so angry. They just want to blame someone else. They rely on other people to tell them who to be angry at, who to blame.

They are the hopeless among us.

Trump voters are the people among us who can never be truly happy or satisfied, until they can see others suffer! These are the people who want to watch people of color starve, who want to see children homeless, who would claim that their religion gives them the right to lynch a gay man...those are Trump voters!!!!

Mean, evil, cruel, inhumane...that is the definition of a Trump voter!!!

"I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain."

- James Baldwin


I posted some hrs ago:

HATE, they live for it.
Their lives have little meaning without it. It's their life force.

These people should not be able to control this country - we should eliminate the Electoral College.

Not them literally but people like them, probably some of their ancestors. It's a hateful mob being directed by a hateful mob boss. Their rallies are just lynch mobs looking for somebody to lynch.
