The scared, stupid, and selfish model. You don't have to be all three, but any one of them and Trump will take advantage of it to bring you over.
I am all three but I am still not a vile enough piece of shit to choose Donald.
You're missing the vile people. There are people looking forward to the next Civil war. Saddly my aunt is one so i know it must be more common then we all would hope.
That would be a combo of 2 and 3.
No it is not. People fucking wish for ww3 without benefitting from it. And theres the true nazis that just wanna kill people. Those do not jusy fit 2 and 3.
Idk I'd consider most "vile" people basically just selfish and stupid, nazis included.
People are stupid without being selfish/ vise versa, and people can be vile while being neither stupid nor selfish.
So whats your point?
"My point" is you're a fucking pedant prick.
Has no one one ever told you that the first one to start calling another names is the genuine dumb ass.
"What's your point?"
You're acting like being vile is not a cornerstone of supporting trump but a by product of it. And thats just not true, theres a reason trump is so vugal and nasty, hes been reaching out to the i fucking hate everything people and drawing them into his cult
Edit: his deleted reply
Think of how stupid the average trump supporter is, then remember that half of them are stupider than that.
Oh i know. That's why when i first commented, i said i dont blame the stupid, because they're idiot.
