Bullshit Trump Says

Do you think it’s possible that not all of the 40% are shitty people and that they’re just not as intelligent, educated, and informed as you?

You don’t have to be intelligent, educated, and informed to know what’s shitty and disapprove of it.

I would almost respect people who admitted that, but were like “I’m all about that paper, so MAGA”. Instead they buy The Art of the Deal explain how he’s a reformed godly man, and take a face full of MAGA bukakke kool aid. That’s shitty.

Yeah. I don’t like people who dislike minorities and immigrants. I don’t like people who apologize for right wing extremism and hate.

I don’t like people who use their hard earned right to vote to “own the libs.” I don’t like people who watch cable news and listen to talk radio all day.

I have Trump voters in my family. They suck and are terrible to be around. Luckily, they aren’t invited to Thanksgiving because the rest of my family, for all of its flaws, feels the same way.

Hilarious. Given a softball question and he can’t help himself.

And conservatives/Fox News said Obama was arrogant? It’s almost as if they’re not sincere people
 
Since party realignment, Republicans have always been a party of grifters.

Hey, if you give the rich massive tax breaks, then the benefits will trickle down. Sounds great, right? Trust me.

Rinse. Repeat.

I’m a little drunk, but fuck that shit. Let’s call it like it is as the ice caps melt and the west coast burns.

Those fuckers couldn’t even turn their best ideas (Bush 1’s e-verify/employer-side immigration enforcement and the Heritage Foundation-authored RomneyCare) into actionable policy.
 
Obama turned their idea into policy and they claimed it was death panels and socialism.

you should move
 
They aren't all shitty. I watched Alexandra Pelosi's documentary "Outside the Bubble" the other night. Some of his supporters are just people desperate for anyone to help turn their lives around, or their lives are so run by religion they can't think clearly. I felt sorry for quite a few of them, they can't see that Trump is wearing emporer's clothes. And then there are the shitty ones.

This doesn’t make sense though, because
1) Donald trump has a clear history of only doing things that benefit himself that has been public for decades
And
2) everyone has access to information now, even low income people, so there’s not really an excuse for looking the other way as it pertains to Trump because all the info anyone needs is staring them in the face regarding his corruption and phony-ness (see #1).
 
as a sheer function of posting on a wake forest message board, we're inherently in what, the top 3% of the country? 2%? 1%? It's fairly hard to comprehend the lives of all the shitheads we went to high school with that we quickly forgot once we got into our AP classes, but I imagine it would really suck. Probably sucks even more now that the rest of us are now their facebook friends and they get to see our lives on a daily basis.

This is real talk right here.
 
I get all that. I worked many years at a blue collar job. But why follow a man who has probably never had his hands dirty? Just can't comprehend. I was a blue collar man who had a crappy life but I still thought for myself.

I’d your religious convictions make you shitty, you’re still shitty.

The politics of resentment and jealously is a major factor in populist politics, I think. Certainly racism and sexism and homophobia plays a big part, but I've had rural relatives talk about how "unfair" it is that NC cities like Charlotte and Raleigh and Cary are doing so well, while their little towns are dying or stagnant. They even talk about why Boone is doing so well, and when you point out that it's a college town, they complain about how liberal higher ed is now. I don't think you can overestimate the sense of bitterness that many rural Trumpites have that they've been left behind by the modern economy, combined with real envy and resentment of more prosperous urban and suburban areas. Many of these folks could probably live with a national economic collapse that caused even more problems in rural areas and small towns, as long as they could see that urban residents were suffering and hurting too. I've heard rural folks talk about Charlotte the way they talk about Obama or Hillary - as a hateful, despised, frightening thing (they still go to Panthers or Hornets games if they can afford it, of course).

ETA: I should add that many of these small towns bear a large responsibility for their own decline, as they have often been dominated for generations by the same local gentry of a few families that often kept out competition for their industries, so when the factories closed they had no economic diversity at all. Not to mention that many of the folks living in these places fear change, and so are resistant to doing anything that might actually lure new jobs, because that would also lead to an influx of "outsiders".
