My heart aches for Trump supporters


Honestly, I tear up when I think of Trump supporters and their views based on fear and borderline retarded logic. They remind me of the little child in school that no one ever wanted to be around and laughed at during recess when all he wanted was to be their very best friend. To make up for being treated like this, the little kid would get into the most ridiculous arguments in an attempt to make himself superior from an intellectual POV, not realizing he was just digging himself deeper into the social misfit rut he was stuck in. That's basically what "Trumpism" is in a nutshell -- nothing more then a disillusioned feeling that you don't belong in the more diverse and globalized world that we live in today and your only means of solace is supporting a guy who can make it all better by promoting racism and xenophobia. Trumpsters are nothing more then kids who never sat at the cool kids table while younger and now hate the fact that minorities are slowly overcoming the race-based status quo (the only thing Trumpsters have going for them) through their achievements. A pity indeed.

Mine doesn't.

It's hard to buy your summation of Trump supporters being nerds as kids. Yes, I can see social outcasts, losers, misfits, dorks, the dregs of society. But I don't for a second buy they tried to make "themselves superior from an intellectual POV".

People with any semblance of intelligence would recognize the fuckwit that Trump is and not support him.

Just look to the conservative "intelligentsia" if you can even call it that, the lineup of writers that write for the National Review. Their stable is where'd you look for intelligent Trump supporters. Any there? Nope. You'd have to mine the arch conservative Federalist Society to find any actual intelligent Trump supporters with any sort of profile at all at this point. And that's really scraping the bottom of the barrel.

Stannis- if you are an example of the "cool kids table", I am SO glad I never sat at that table. You're just an example of a kid who never grew up!
