They dont believe he will do any of the bad things he promised he would, so why did they vote for him?
One possible answer: they do believe he will conduct mass deportations (interestingly, not included in the chart above)

These folks are college educated, Sunday go to church, family values folks.
It makes no sense.

Otherwise no, and just sit back and wait for the screaming to start.
And there WILL be screaming. Be patient.

(224 posts)They dont believe he committed any crimes. Hes been wrongly accused and convicted by the democrats. Its all been a witch hunt. Whatever he said hes going to do thats bad only affects the democrats and the immigrants. Theyre special and are excluded. These people actually believe this and are completely brainwashed.

(434 posts)It's willful ignorance. An astonishingly small percentage of Americans actually watch the news on a daily basis. Some 70% of us get our news from social media. Trump voters believe what they believe because they have no reason not to believe it; they're uninformed. Being uninformed is a choice and it's a choice a majority of Americans make.
It will be our undoing.
