http://bipartisanreport.com/2016/03/20/trump-supporters-get-trolled-into-admitting-they-have-no-clue-what-he-stands-for-video/Its hilarious and terrifying at the same time. Reporter Ralph Lee interviews two different men at a Trump rally and both of them cycle through a list of misconceptions regarding Trumps campaign.
Heres one of the real gems.
Im more with Trump because, fact is, hes being bullied by the government and they need to be together, and they aint right now everybodys kinda picking on him because hes the man in power, everybody wants him as President.
Really? Apologies if Trump is actually a put-upon underdog who just needs a fair shot, but most of the things Trumps opponents say about him tend towards criticizing things hes actually said. Has anyone ever heard Megyn Kelly tell her fans to knock the crap out of anyone?

(65,616 posts)Like a moth to a flame. That is why GOP voters are so dangerous, they don't care why - just that the candidate agrees with them and share in their phobias. Their notion of reality is so far off base, it doesn't even resemble cohesive thought anymore.
Alex Jones is a perfect example of their master fear mongering, knowing full well his audience operates at a 3rd grade level of comprehension.
35 years of anti-intellectualism and HERE WE ARE.
