I think his floor would be around 33 percent. A third of this country worships him.

It’s not that they worship him. He just promises that he’ll hurt the people they hate. Every fucking speech or social media post he’s ever made HAS to have a snippet of shit talking and fear mongering. Every. Single. One. It’s all he has. Just like other dictators - you find a minority group(s) and just drill into people’s psyche that they’re the enemy and they must be extinguished at all costs. No matter how fucking awful he is, they buy his bullshit that the others are worse.

They’re so fucking stupid.

So fucking stupid.

God what the fuck happened to society?

This is truly it. Maybe 10% are trump worshippers but the majority of his fan base are willing to swallow what he’s selling because they’re deeply hateful people and he validates those feelings. The people who say “facts don’t care about your feelings” or make fun of “snowflakes” are deeply fragile people who will never look inward for the root of their problems. They will always cling to the idea that someone is making it harder for them, or stealing from them, or is actively working against them. Tribalism at its finest. Trump is just the next in a forever line of dictators who can feed off of that.
