they probably just don't know enough. i wouldnt say all "trump supporters" are bad people, some of them are just misguided, ignorant, or dull in the head.
Using the excuse of "not knowing enough" while we live in the information age is absolutely ridiculous. If they dont know it's almost certainly willful ignorance. They don't want to know, because some part of them understands that knowing will force them to acknowledge that they are shit people and have been for their entire lives.
The information age isn't as great as people think... information is easy to obtain but it hasn't gotten any easier to understand AND it's gotten harder to verify
I don’t really think it’s an excuse. I just think they just don’t know anything about politics and see the dumb shit Trump says and take it as the truth or think he’s funny. Yes, I think they’re stupid. But not all of them are necessarily horrible people.
Even if we can argue that it comes from ignorance, why would you choose to have anyone that dangerously ignorant around? I can't force you to cut these people off, but I can guarantee you that your life would be a lot better off if you did.
I say ignorant as in they just really don’t care or know that much about politics and just see the things he says and believes it. I don’t personally have anybody like that in my life, as my family and friends are entirely blue.
Or - and hear me out because it’s a wild assumption - they have different beliefs and values. Scandalous, I know. I don’t know why people don’t adhere tightly to my specific beliefs and values. They’d be better if they did.
