I hate to be redundant but Deplorables are freaking suckers.
Trump said he wouldn't touch Medicaid and his health plan would cover everybody. He lied to them about a life and death issue and they are okay with it. *
Hating Jews, blacks, Muslims, Hispanics, women, liberals, and glbtq people makes you crazy.
*Lurking Deplorables, if you think I am prevaricating google that shit.

(56,828 posts)Some of them know that Trump is going to screw them over - they are just happy that minorities will be screwed over even worse than them.
some people got suckered as well. I think it was here on DU yesterday (might have been DailyKos), somebody had a quote from a woman back in March celebrating Trump and Trumpcare because her insurance costs when down from around $600/month to around $100/month... even though her savings were directly related to Obamacare and Trumpcare hasn't even passed.

(67,102 posts)with bullshit they hear from the typical propaganda sources and local politicians, some pastors, etc., etc. So often they just seem isolated in these limited information think tanks. It's weird, very strange with all of the information available today. If some form of this goes through, and the sources tell them it's all Obama's fault, then they will believe that too. FFS, it's a losing battle.

(9,397 posts)i'm starting to think the blue states will have to start forming their own armies because when the bible belt people are stripped down to nothing they will become the horde of walking dead everyone makes shows about.

(67,102 posts)how out of touch and naive many Americans are. Just how he acted during the primaries should have put him at the bottom of the list. Many people are going to be shocked as Trump continues as to how bad their lives are going to get.

(67,102 posts)some use faulty reasoning and fall hook, line and sinker for the bullshit these politicians sling. Trump is the biggest scammer charlatan going, and they fell for him. And were proud of their ignorance. And now we have this F'en mess.

If someone spouts off about harming/punishing the people or group they hate, they will follow him or her forever.
So, they are both stupid and evil and live only to denigrate others in an effort to make themselves feel worthy.
I will never again trust anyone I know who voted for that orange nightmare.
