The enigmatic Trump supporters

Yesterday, during our morning walk, we ran into a neighbor and started lamenting about Donald Trump. As we were talking she said: “I don’t understand why some very intelligent people I know still support Trump?” She meant that not all of Trump supporters are stupid, which is absolutely true.

Unfortunately she said said that while the garbage truck was ready to empty her can and we had to move out of the way in a hurry. Had this not happened I would have answered her question based of what I had written on this blog one year ago.

In fact, the reason why the Republican member of Congress overwhelmingly support trump and are its loyal enabler is because they are profoundly mean. Yes, mean as evil.

The dominant traits of the GOP members and the rest of the Trump supporters are in part, or in totality, egoistical, racists, xenophobes, antisemitic, misogynistic, anti-LGBT, supremacists, dogmatic, and much, much more.

In fact, it seems to me that Trump is a potent enabler for all the evil and the sin that we all carry in us, no matter how minute that amount of malevolence is. It also appears that Trump is quite deft at turning these individuals with weather-vane-like moral compass into real monsters.

Of course that bring me to the rest of the Don supporters, the gullible, whose support is often fanned by religious fanaticism, but their ranks significantly pale in comparison to the really mean folks.

The latter are the stalwarts to Trump’s base.
