Trump Supporters: How to Tell the Haters from the Hopeless
There are two kinds of Trump supporters and in the weeks to come, it will become increasingly easy to tell them apart.
The Hopeless are folks in places like West Virginia with no jobs, no health insurance, no hope for the future. Trump promised them everything they needed, and so they took a leap of faith. Now, as his promise to provide free insurance to all Americans turns into stripping 23 million Americans of their existing coverage, and his pledge to make coal great again turns into "coal is dead", the Hopeless will lose hope once again--and they will turn on Trump. They are already turning on Trump. Their great enthusiasm is turning into watchful waiting. And soon, it will be outright disgust.

Unfortunately, the Haters are going to love Trump even more. By Haters, I mean those who hated Obama for having a father from Kenyan. When they hear about 23 million Americans losing their health insurance, they will picture Black people losing their health insurance and they will rejoice. They will also cheer to see legislation passed during Obama's tenure overturned. The Haters will be too busy enjoying their hatred to care that some of them will lose their own insurance. Haters are like the scorpion that stings the fox as it is ferrying it across the water. "Why did you sting me?" the fox asks as he slips under the water, taking the scorpion with him. "Because I am a Hater," says the scorpion. "It's what I do."
Embrace the Hopeless. It is not their fault they could not imagine that someone running for president would lie the way that Trump lied. And steer clear of the Haters. You can't help them. You can only hope that one day they realize that there is something better than the Hate to which they cling.

And I think there's a third element that are just plain stupid and star struck.
