Former President Donald Trump’s supporters say they hold him as a source of true information over their family, friends, and religious leaders, according to a new CBS News/YouGov poll out on Sunday.
Jeeeesus fucking christ. America is one fucked up culture. I feel bad for them.
I honestly think that if not for your MSM, most people would be reasonable. The MSM is abusing people’s natural hatred of injustice up to a fever pitch at all the wrong things.
I don’t know we can really blame MSM. It certainly is contributing to a degree, but for one, online misinformation is arguably a greater problem than, and for another, people were terrible and unreasonable before mass media was ever a thing. It’s not like slave holders thought slavery was great because the 17th century mainstream media told them it was fine that black people weren’t people.
There’s been systemic cultural problems forever.
Trump cultists are like maybe 30% of the republicans, making them 15% of the population at best. They’re just really fking loud and obnoxious. In the election Trump loses by a landslide. I suspect he’ll be in jail (or house arrest) before then tho.

It doesn’t matter if the vast majority of republicans aren’t trump cultists, it only matters that the vast majority of republicans will vote for him when they’re alone in that voting booth.
That makes the vast majority of republicans willing (and some eager) to bring a fucking fascist, and all that he stands for, back into power. This is an existential threat to democracy in the US, not even being hyperbolic.
