Stop Acting Like Trump Supporters Care About Anything Awful He Says or Does — They Don’t

"Can we please stop acting as if the majority of Trump supporters care about anything else but blindly supporting this national embarrassment and probably the worst human being ever elected ‘president’? He’s belittled POWs, mocked a man with disabilities, used rhetoric that’s inspired Nazis, been praised by the KKK, called a Gold Star widow a liar, bragged about sexually assaulting women, and has now endorsed a credibly accused child molester. If they haven’t turned on him now, they’re never going to. Well, at least not until he does something that directly makes an impact on their lives in an extremely negative way that even they can’t ignore — then some of them will care. And even then, if they can’t deny that he did something that had a negative impact on their lives. I’ve seen firsthand that when faced with the reality that something he supports will screw them over, many Trump supporters will do just about everything they can to avoid blaming him for it. See, that’s how the minds of most Republicans work. They don’t care how awful someone is, or how other people’s lives are negatively impacted by the terribleness of that person, just as long as it doesn’t negatively affect them personally."
