    I still can’t help wonder. There are people who dove headfirst into Trumpism who I would not consider to be irrational before.

    I do not understand why it works on half of the country but has the complete opposite effect on me.

    What is different about me?..and how do I spread that difference to that half of the country?

      Trumpism i reckon js more like how a serial killer can appear totally normal on the outside.

      These people have always been like this. They’ve just hidden it very very well because they new society at large would not tolerate that shit.

      Now those who tolerate it are in charge. It’s safe to be the POS they are right out in the open.

      Only 1/3 of the country.

      And given that nearly half of adults can’t read above a 6th grade level, this really isn’t that surprising. They cannot grasp any nuance at all.
