In reply to the discussion: Against Trump [View all]Matrosov
(1,098 posts)These 'conservative thought leaders' (excuse me while I go laugh at that concept for the next five minutes ) have been pumping out the hate for decades now. They've deliberately been pushing to dumb down the intelligence of the political discourse on the right, to make it easier to spoon feed Republican voters false and downright idiotic information. They've been telling white voters that communists and brown people and gay people are to blame for all the problems in the world.
Trump's popularity is a product of all this. Whenever he says something outrageous that disgusts normal people, his poll numbers climb higher and higher.
It's hilarious. The Republican establishment has been grooming idiot conservatives for a candidate like Trump for the longest time, but now that the establishment realizes they have no control over the situation, they're turning on Trump.
