But so many of the tRumper/Tea Party types that I talk to are actually proud of their bigotry & hatred & greed. They feed on it, and draw strength from it. They will not stop to analyze WHY they hate, or why they are bigoted/prejudiced/angry--why they think Mexicans are "stealing their jobs" or getting food stamps illegally, why women or blacks are treated as second-class citizens; they simply follow their programming. They are programmed by Fox News/talk radio to hate Hillary, Obama, "libruls", and they refuse to think their way out of it. It's perplexing.
