USAToday shows how stupid trump voters truly are

USAToday has a group of 25 trump voters that they interview from time to time. I can only guess they are really ignorant Fux News viewers. There is no other explanation. I wish we could just move them to Russia since they think treasonous behavior is just 'politics'

As the one-year anniversary of his election approaches Wednesday, Trump still scores a perfect approval rating among these voters, but with some caveats. Not one person in the group says he or she would change their vote in 2016, if given the chance. They tend to dismiss the escalating investigation into Russian meddling in last year’s election, and the possibility that Trump associates colluded with Moscow, as just politics.

When compulsive gamblers are faced with their losing ways, instead of stopping they double-down. Why? Because doubling down proves (to themselves) they are really correct.

1. The panel can't agree on what his major accomplishment might have been.

2. The panel can't agree on what his priority should be.

3. The panel has lost some confidence in tRump's ability to get things done.

4. The panel expressed worries about his behavior.

If Trump was a different gender or ethnicity I can assure you they would have regretted their vote 6 moths ago. It's not stupidity but cultural conditioning drive their decision

Did the USA Today ask how many of the panelists watched FOX News on a regular basis?

That should be the root of the investigation: how propaganda turns otherwise functional human beings into misdirected, mislead cattle.

I work with a bunch of different people who are all educated and intelligent, or they wouldn't be in the cockpit with me. A disturbingly large percentage of them are propagandized to the point of complete irrationality.

I am not exaggerating. Politics is a taboo subject on my flight deck just for safety reasons. These folks get really worked up if you start talking about their trigger issues.

we're in this mess is the polling and dem and left orgs completely ignore talk radio an often blame fox.

fox can't do the unchallenged unnoticed repetition, and it can't be locally coordinated like talk radio. talk raido is the only major medium with NO free easy alternative. tv and internet provide easy alts a click away but in most parts of the US there are no political alternatives - and no, npr and music dont compete with it.

trump studied talk radio in 2014 (gabriel sherman - NY magazine 4/3/16) and most of the best russian trolling piggybacked it and the fucking dem establishment and liberal and media orgs can't even poll for it and blame fox.....

They have the money to maintain the foundational, institutional structures to keep it that way.

Unless by legal magic, money is removed from politics.
