Reza Aslan: "The dangerous cult of Donald Trump":

[The Wizard]

6. Who believes it?

The weak minded and easily frightened who lack critical thinking skills are Trump's marks.
Trump successfully used Twitter to manipulate the broadcast media and convince the clueless he was their hero. There are those who lost good jobs, home, cars and families to the Reagan driven decimation of the middle class.
For years the Republican propaganda operation of Pox News and hate radio has been telling their audience that minorities and immigrants are stealing their jobs, thus making the audience a class of easily duped professional victims more than willing to vote against their own best interests. Trump seized that mental vacuity and capitalized on America's deliberate dumbing down.
How many smart, open minded people voted for the contagion known as Trump?
