If people were dumb enough to believe him there's not much anyone can do about it other than hope they figure out they were duped.

    How about this revolutionary idea: They aren't all dumb.

    Yes, most of them are hateful too. Especially the ones that aren't both.

    You're trying to tell me that half of all American voters all are hateful morons?

    Voterparticipation was 64% So more like 30%.

    People can be hateful AND other things. They aren't raging monsters but for one reason or another when making one of the most important desicions they let themselves be guided by hate, doesn't mean they don't love their dog or hug their kids.

    You slso don't need to put all the blame on them, propaganda is a powerful tool,they might very well have turned out fairly decent without it. They aren't born like that but it doesn't change what they have become.

    I'd say hateful AND/OR morons. Some are just hateful. Some are just morons. Some are both.

    And it wouldn't be the first time in history a massive segment of a population was and/or. Propaganda and shitty culture are a hell of a drug.

    I mean the proof is in the pudding. Half of voting Americans voted for a convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, lifelong conman, and probable pedophile who instigated an insurrection and utterly failed at his previous term as president. What else would you consider them other than hateful and/or morons?

    The only people that voted for him that aren't dumb are the abnormally wealthy who knew they could benefit financially. And they represent such a small percentage of the whole that it's reasonable to simply state all Trump supporters are fucking idiots.

    And you could even call that small percentage stupid because they're shitting where they eat. If you live in a country you are actively voting to make worse for the vast majority.....well, that's bad business in the big picture. They're focused on short term gains.
