In reply to the discussion: Why do liberals think Trump supporters are stupid?' [View all]ananda
(31,054 posts)25. I think it has to do with the way they were abused and groomed.
They identify with the bully, not the nice guy who cares

Education, critical thinking skills, and empathy do not
matter.
