Why do liberals think Trump supporters are stupid?

Found in my facebook feed...

An anguished question from a Trump supporter: ‘Why do liberals think Trump supporters are stupid?’

The serious answer: Here’s what we really think about Trump supporters - the rich, the poor, the malignant and the innocently well-meaning, the ones who think and the ones who don't...

That when you saw a man who had owned a fraudulent University, intent on scamming poor people, you thought "Fine."

That when you saw a man who had made it his business practice to stiff his creditors, you said, "Okay."

That when you heard him proudly brag about his own history of sexual abuse, you said, "No problem."

That when he made up stories about seeing Muslim-Americans in the thousands cheering the destruction of the World Trade Center, you said, "Not an issue."

That when you saw him brag that he could shoot a man on Fifth Avenue and you wouldn't care, you chirped, "He sure knows me."

That when you heard him illustrate his own character by telling that cute story about the elderly guest bleeding on the floor at his country club, the story about how he turned his back and how it was all an imposition on him, you said, "That's cool!"

That when you saw him mock the disabled, you thought it was the funniest thing you ever saw.

That when you heard him brag that he doesn't read books, you said, "Well, who has time?"

That when the Central Park Five were compensated as innocent men convicted of a crime they didn't commit, and he angrily said that they should still be in prison, you said, "That makes sense."

That when you heard him tell his supporters to beat up protesters and that he would hire attorneys, you thought, "Yes!"

That when you heard him tell one rally to confiscate a man's coat before throwing him out into the freezing cold, you said, "What a great guy!"

That you have watched the parade of neo-Nazis and white supremacists with whom he curries favor, while refusing to condemn outright Nazis, and you have said, "Thumbs up!"

That you hear him unable to talk to foreign dignitaries without insulting their countries and demanding that they praise his electoral win, you said, "That's the way I want my President to be."

That you have watched him remove expertise from all layers of government in favor of people who make money off of eliminating protections in the industries they're supposed to be regulating and you have said, "What a genius!"

That you have heard him continue to profit from his businesses, in part by leveraging his position as President, to the point of overcharging the Secret Service for space in the properties he owns, and you have said, "That's smart!"

That you have heard him say that it was difficult to help Puerto Rico because it was in the middle of water and you have said, "That makes sense."

That you have seen him start fights with every country from Canada to New Zealand while praising Russia and quote, "falling in love" with the dictator of North Korea, and you have said, "That's statesmanship!"

That Trump separated children from their families and put them in cages, managed to lose track of 1500 kids, has opened a tent city incarceration camp in the desert in Texas - he explains that they’re just “animals” - and you say, “Well, OK then.”

That you have witnessed all the thousand and one other manifestations of corruption and low moral character and outright animalistic rudeness and contempt for you, the working American voter, and you still show up grinning and wearing your MAGA hats and threatening to beat up anybody who says otherwise.

What you don't get, Trump supporters in 2019, is that succumbing to frustration and thinking of you as stupid may be wrong and unhelpful, but it's also...hear me...charitable.

Because if you're NOT stupid, we must turn to other explanations, and most of them are less flattering.

Why do Conservatives think liberals are evil? They won't support a candidate that doesn't believe in murdering innocent babies. That is their ultimate desire: to legalize the murder of innocent unborn children.

That is ****ing evil.

That when you saw a man who had made it his business practice to stiff his creditors, you said, "Okay." Several (3?) of Trump's businesses went bankrupt, but not all. Bankruptcy was not a "business practice" for Trump. If you don't like bankruptcy, take it up with the writers of the US Constitution who wrote a requirement that there be Federal bankruptcy laws.

That when you heard him proudly brag about his own history of sexual abuse, you said, "No problem." :thatsright: Trump did not say that he had grabbed women's @#$%^! Read the transcript without reading into it what you wanted Trump to have said! Hillary, OTOH, enabled and defended Bill's sexual predations, which did include rape and physical assault, and attacked Bill's victims. Yet you voted for Hillary!

That when he made up stories about seeing Muslim-Americans in the thousands cheering the destruction of the World Trade Center, you said, "Not an issue." Trump's comment can be criticized for conflating reports on such celebrations in the US with similar celebrations in other countries, but such celebrations did happen in the US, just not "thousands and thousands". But if we want to talk fabrications, DU-folk voted for Hillary, who fabricated a tale of having had to dodge sniper fire when she landed in Bosnia. So Trump exaggerated while Hillary fabricated. Want to talk about Biden's claim to have been arrested while trying to visit Nelson Mandela? Which he had to back down from because it was so blatantly false that even the MSM called him out on it? Whaddya say, Corn Pop?
...
That when you saw him mock the disabled, you thought it was the funniest thing you ever saw. Debunked long ago. While Trump used the criticized mannerism in the context of criticizing a person who is disabled, video examples have been found of Trump using the same mannerism while speaking critically of people who are not disabled. Now, give this video of GaffeMan in action a look and listen, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRV5Y1JCGRI

That when you heard him brag that he doesn't read books, you said, "Well, who has time?" Ummmm, had you bothered to find the original source article about Trump's comment, https://newrepublic.com/minutes/133566/donald-trump-doesnt-read-books , you'd find that his tone was not bragging, and that he said that he reads portions of books rather than entire books. IOW, he reads to get information and in a way that is time efficient.
...
That you have watched the parade of neo-Nazis and white supremacists with whom he curries favor, while refusing to condemn outright Nazis, and you have said, "Thumbs up!" Stupidly false claim! Trump condemned the "neo-Nazis and white supremacists" multiple times in varying strong terms.
...
That you have heard him continue to profit from his businesses, in part by leveraging his position as President ... Stupidly false claim! The US Constitution does not require a President divest himself of his/her pre-Presidency businesses. And there is zero evidence that Trump has "leveraged his position as President" to get people to stay in his facilities.

That you have heard him say that it was difficult to help Puerto Rico because it was in the middle of water and you have said, "That makes sense." Try looking at a map! Puerto Rico is surrounded by ocean and sea. There are no Interstate highways going to PR for trucks that travel at 55 or 65 mph, nor railroads for trains going at similar speeds. Some cargo planes are of greater capacity than trucks, but they are less numerous, far more expensive to fly, and can only land in a few places. Cargo ships have greater capacity than trucks and maybe than trains, but these travel much slower. So what you mock, Tom Yossarian Joad, is literally true. And despite all the mocker and howls of "Too slow!" and "Not enough!" vast quantities of supplies were delivered ... and we're still finding supplies that never got used, due to the incompetence and/or corruption of PR government officials.
...
That Trump separated children from their families and put them in cages, managed to lose track of 1500 kids, has opened a tent city incarceration camp in the desert in Texas - he explains that they’re just “animals” - and you say, “Well, OK then.” So many falsehoods and distortions ... The famous "Kids in Cages" pictures are from 2014. Obama was President then. The ~1500 kids were with relatives who did not respond to multiple phone calls and mailed notifications. The tent city was created at a time when more people were crossing into the US than could be handled by existing permanent facilities. Aerial pictures of the tent city revealed, among other things, that the tents were air conditioned. And Trump did NOT call the illegal immigrants "animals". He called the violent criminals hiding in the open among them "animals", which they are.

Putting it much nicer than you deserve Tom Yossarian Joad, I'm sure that if I took a couple more hours to dig and write, I could show that just about everything you "know" about President Trump is false, severely distorted, or opinion that ignores contradicting facts. And unlike you, Tom Yossarian Joad, I'm not going to deride you for the ignorance in your false derisions of decent intelligent people for daring to hold ideas different from your. Demonstrating your falsehoods and misinformation suffices.
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

I'll have an IQ test with and DUmmy or that Castro person and spot them 50 IQ points.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.
