From Nan’s Notebook:
From a Facebook post …
The question was asked why people continue supporting Trump no matter what he does. This was a lady named Bev’s answer:
“You all don’t get it. I live in Trump country, in the Ozarks in southern Missouri, one of the last places where the KKK still has a relatively strong established presence. They don’t give a shit what he does. He’s just something to rally around and hate liberals, that’s it, period. He absolutely realizes that and plays it up. They love it. He knows they love it. The fact that people act like it’s anything other than that proves to them that liberals are idiots, all the more reason for high fives all around.
If you keep getting caught up in “why do they not realize this problem” and “how can they still back Trump after this scandal,” then you do not understand what the underlying motivating factor of his support is.
Appreciate your reblogs. 🙂
We appreciate your insights.
You do provide perceptive posts.
Yep.
“F*** Liberals, That’s Pretty Much It.”
It’s always about the hated “others” with authoritarians and fascists.
In the previous century it was, “F*** the Jews, That’s Pretty Much It.” Hitler’s Nazis and Nationalist American Zealots for Inequality still hate the same people.
America’s domestic cult of bigotry and racism is a greater threat to our stability and democracy than any foreign nation or terrorist group.
