I’m disappointed that you are doubling down on this condescending and insulting explanation of Trump supporters: that they are flawed in various ways including limited IQ, gullibility, intellectually laziness, emotional desperation, willful dereliction. We are inchoate, mindless, whoring after a false messiah, and that is only a sampling of the pejorative adjectives used to describe our flaws.

I know that you included yourself as one of the flawed, saying “we” have been fooled. I know that some of those descriptions were originally aimed at Obama followers rather than Trump followers, but that comparison is perhaps the most insulting thing of all.

My reasons for supporting Donald Trump bear not the slighting resemblance to those you list, and the many Trump supporters I know or have spoken with do not at all fit your condescending profile of a Trump supporter.

Apparently, supporting Donald Trump is so unthinkable to you that you must imagine us as damaged, mindless fools in order to reconcile the fact that we even exist.

I’ve explained my reasons for supporting Trump, but it seems to fall on deaf ears.

I have characterized Donald Trump accurately although of course negatively as follows:

… reality television, beauty contestant entrepreneur, a prize fighting promoter, a titty bar owner, a bankrupt gambling casino magnate, a grifter of vulnerable students and nutrition minded suckers, a brutal landlord, a deceiver of customers, a bully, a misogynist, a serial liar, a mountebank and a man thoroughly unworthy of the highest office in the world.

You and Trump supporters simply overlook or excuse these appalling episodes in Trump's biography. I submit that they do so for the same reason that leftists overlooked the obvious warning signs in Obama's biography. I contend that the yearning for the political Messiah is part of human nature. You say you are different from other Trump supporters.

You’ve been seduced (led astray if you will) and deceived....people who are cannot see what is obvious to those who aren’t.

“flawed in various ways including limited IQ, gullibility, intellectually laziness, emotional desperation, willful dereliction. We are inchoate, mindless, whoring after a false messiah”

And those are our better qualities.

Let the haters preen and admire their own reflections, telling each other how wise they are, thanking God that they aren’t grass-chewing rubes mindlessly following the latest incarnation of Nebuchadnezzar like us Trump worshiping hicks. I do think we will get the last laugh before this is over.
