Selective hearing. You can lead an elephant to real news, but you can't make him read it.

They don't stop to question why they should not believe something that happened did not happen and that something that never happened did happen. (I am confused just typing that!). They don't even question why they are being told these things, they just lap it up.

and assume the roll of Dictator whenever he wants.

That majority of Trumpy supporters has no knowledge of how government works. They're a barbaric horde as ignorant as a fence post, but that's who Trumpy wanted on his side-- because they're too stupid to do anything else.

Kudos Fox News, Breitbart, Rush and his like, mission accomplished.

Germany was sucked in by fascisim and soon it took lives and international intervention to stamp it out.

While there are still more of us 40 some percent here have seriously flawed thinking and believe a lot that just is not true.

First, Trump has instilled such a deep distrust for polls in his followers, I wouldn't be surprised if they enjoy screwing with pollsters.

Second, I think it shows that our real enemy is ignorance. I think most right leaning Americans don't pay much attention to the news and that they form their opinions on very little information. I think we picture the average Trump supporter sitting around and reading Breitbart and watching Fox 24/7 when, in reality, that's just the vocal ones.
