My god whenever I think he couldn't possibly be more of a scumbag, he gets worse.

Being an asshole to a widow who just lost her husband? Falsely promising money to a father who lost his son?

How did people vote for this guy? How does he have a non-zero approval rating?

They don't watch CNN or MSNBC. They're not even very political at all. When he has his rallies he never says anything of importance to them. They're so insulated from facts and the truth about him that they have no idea what he's really like.

If they watch news at all it's to watch Fox News only so that's their source of information for everything. They believe Fox because Fox tells them what they want to hear. And Trump makes sure to snarl the words, "Fake News" so often that they feel they don't need to listen to anything he doesn't want them to.

They're ignorant in the truest sense of the word. They know nothing and are proud of it.

Going forward I worry that some of the more outrageous things Republican officials said or did before Trump will now be seen as rather benign compared to what we've seen these last two years.
