Only 45% of Trump voters believe Donald Trump Jr. had a meeting with Russians about information that might be harmful to Hillary Clinton...even though Trump Jr. admitted it. 32% say the meeting didn't happen and 24% say they're not sure.

72% of Trump voters consider the Russia story overall to be 'fake news,' only 14% disagree.

Only 24% of Trump voters even want an investigation into whether the Trump campaign colluded with Russia, 64% are opposed to an investigation.

Only 26% of Trump voters admit that Russia wanted Trump to win the election, 44% claim Russia wanted Hillary Clinton to win, and 31% say they're not sure one way or the other.

Even if there was an investigation, and it found that the Trump campaign did collude with Russia to aid his campaign, 77% of his supporters think he should still stay in office to just 16% who believe he should resign.




---------------

I don't think that the Trump-supporters actually think that. They know the truth, but they are so consumed by hatred that they cannot admit the truth.

1. Trump cultists cannot reason nor can they process reality.

I don't understand this level of brainwashing. How is this possible?

[Arkansas Granny]

2. Like Trump, they cannot admit to making a mistake.

Look how long it took Trump to let go of the birther nonsense and realize that there are some who still believe it.

3. A big part of Trump's appeal for them

comes from their resentment towards "the elite" who look down on them intellectually, socially, in every way. To understand these investigations, you have to put in the time to read about them, with a grounding in some knowledge of the Constitution and American History. These guys pride themselves on being ignorant of these high-flown concepts.

4. They are NOT brainwashed. They are saying F* you. We know, we don't give a damn!

Don't think for one minute they don't know he is lying. Bill Clinton's lying about sex is more important to them than Trump lying about his treasonous behavior toward Russia. They know. They, too admire Putin because they believe he had the upper hand on Obama.

Once again, they are willfully ignorant, racist, sexist, homophobic, self-hating sociopaths. That's the 32% of them. The rest are just plain embarrassed that they fell for the con and ashamed to admit their bigotry. About 1% of 68% are truly sorry that they voted for Trump, believing he was going to change Washington. They will be joining or rejoining the ranks of the ultra-progressives.

11. THIS

I was saying last summer the support of 45 was a big middle finger to the evil liberal boogyman.

5. Along the same lines did you hear the moon landings were fake?

I would not be surprised if the numbers do not intersect when viewed on a Venn diagram.

6. When staggering pctg of US don't even know who Geo. Washington was, I don't doubt that survey. . nt

7. Propaganda from RW sources are really earning their money!

8. FOX Noise has only three stories recently: Mueller & team are a corrupt witch hunt, RussiaGate is

totally fake news (because it's reported on real news media) and OJ OJ OJ (he's Black you know)

(This FOX info is from a coworker who watches)

[Ilsa]

9. Just the lack of curiosity by these people is indicative

of a very bigotted mindset, among other things, IMO. If this was a real-life murder mystery, not a political story with emotional brick walls, would they be screaming at investigators to overturn every rock? I think they would, but only if the suspect was female, or black or brown, or had a weird name, or was known to be gay or have a close gay family member.

If they would ignore it no matter who the suspect is, then there is something deficient in their analytical curiosity, in the way their brains work.

[Ilsa]

10. If fox news told them they would be safe by

Walking off the top of a 20 story building, they'd ignore the physicists, the medical doctors, and step over the bloody bones of the last person to walk off the building to go do what fox said was ok.

[DetlefK]

13. No, they would do it if a Liberal said "Walking from a roof is bad for you."

[tavernier]

12. Can't fix stupid.
