some of the "highlights":
- 80 percent of Trump voters think it’s a bigger problem that news organizations produce false stories, while only 3 percent of them think it’s a bigger problem that the Trump administration makes false claims. (Among Republicans overall, this is 69-14.)
- Only 17 percent of Trump voters think the Trump administration regularly makes false claims, while 76 percent of Trump voters think it doesn’t. (Among Republicans overall, this is 31-65.)
- By contrast, 78 percent of Trump voters think that news organizations regularly produce false stories, while only 19 percent of them think otherwise. (Among Republicans overall, this is 70-27.)
- Meanwhile, 84 percent of Trump voters think he’s keeping most of his major campaign promises, while only 4 percent think he isn’t, and 89 percent of them think he’s honest and trustworthy.
its no wonder he keeps doing the things he does with that kind of monolithic support....
i know there was some discussion about whether or not belittling Trump supporters does anything but make the situation worse...
at this point, i'd call a spade a spade... or stupid is as stupid does... the GOP base 'does stupid' damn well. |
Yup, these people are beyond delusional at this point, and there really is no hope for them at all. There's no way you're going to change the mind of someone who is that far off the deep end.
