"Now I understand how somebody like Adolf Hitler was able to brainwash millions of people," Thomas from Hawaii said in a shocking CSPAN call denouncing Trump.
I mean to be fair he gave a good explanation i thought, slowly realizing over time that he was wrong. Yeah is he a dumbass for voting for him three times, of course. But apparently half our country is dumbasses and understanding how their minds work is key to surviving in this dumbass country.
Because something Trump did affected him personally. He hasn’t changed his beliefs or become a better person. He’s just a selfish asshole who got fucked over.
I read the article. Nothing in there contradicts my statement. His only stated reason for supporting Trump was that he was the “real deal”. Trump’s platform was entirely based on hateful bullshit every time he ran. The logical conclusion to take from that is he supported Trump because of the hateful bullshit.
I mean if we’re doing caricatures liberal voters would be “tell me about how you’re anti war and pro worker but then prioritize corporations and Israel once you’re elected”.

“Do hateful bullshit to the people I don’t like and I’ll vote for you.”
There, that’s how their brains work. It’s not some complicated mystery.
So why is this guy changing his mind now?

That’s not what he said but it’s possible you know his mind better than he does

He said it wasn’t one thing but rather the accumulation of everything over time. There’s no indication that “the gas prices broke him” or something.
I’m guessing he ended up being collateral damage and they always suddenly have a conscience when it’s them gettin the fuckin.

Ok? Trump supporters are still shitty hateful people.
