.... They've just begun to feel the tip of tRump's dick.

Their media keeps them insulated, at least the ones who follow any media. Many I talked to don't follow politics at all. They just wanted to shake things up because, get this, they were tired of the corruption in Washington.

I have been breaking the news to them posing as a disgruntled Trump supporter. When you do it that way they agree and get mad at him and the Republicans. I make sure to add that Rush, Hannity, Savage, Jones, and Fox lied to us to feather their nest! These Trump supporters will believe conspiracies! The funny thing is I am manipulating them with the truth!

I tried lashing out at them and all it got me was a "We won MF!" This way works much better. I say we engage Trump/Republican supporters this way and take away their base!!!

Permission to act out like bigoted assholes.

They don't give a fat rat's ass about what promises he'll break, or whether he'll deliver on anything. They got what they wanted.

this country is THAT stupid.

those people will be saying it was black people that elected donald.

Bit of a Freudian slip there, perhaps...

corrupt, etc., is some new thing they've just discovered. He was always just projecting every evil quality he had onto her.

RW voter's head trying to fathom its meaning

When I think about it, I have to believe part of the problem has been the disconnect on the education level. There's no critical thinking, which begins with the understanding of the basic of language: meanings of words.

things on Today show. She wasn't that old-little older than me-60 something-southern accent-she "met" some guy from a foreign country on match.com-actually never met him at all-and gave him her life savings-$250k. I thought this is a Trump voter. I don't get this level of stupidity. I can feel bad for them but we live in different worlds-I would never give more than a couple hundred to someone I never met. Hundreds of thousands of dollars-this woman didn't have dementia. Fooled so easily. This country needs a real media and real education and enough of religion bullshit. We are all a nation of idiots at this point.Voting for Republicons is to me literally like giving your savings away to someone who will never know you.

First thing I said to hubby: This woman is a Trump voter!!

the economy because those shit-for-brains are beyond redemption anyway.

were not bamboozled by this man.

Unfortunately, most, possibly all of those who were bamboozled by him, are addicted to their televisions. Whether they watch Fox, or another network, they think that what they see on that screen represents reality. They couldn't be more wrong.

I haven't had television, broadcast, cable, or satellite, in over eight years now, since a relocation after a divorce made it a financial decision to do without. To be honest, I originally thought of this as an experiment, something temporary. After all, about four different times in my life I'd been without TV, but always went back. I assumed it would be the same this time.

But as the weeks, then the months, and then the years passed, I found I simply didn't miss it. I could watch most of what I wanted on the internet, especially breaking news. When something happens, local TV stations often go to live streaming, and I've watched plenty of events that way.

For about five years, any time I was in a hotel room I'd watch TV, although I always found the commercials annoying. Yes, that's the best benefit of no TV. No commercials. Recently, as in the past 2 or 3 years, I've noticed that the TV in my hotel room has become invisible, and I don't ever turn it on.

And I honestly think I'm better informed than most. I wake up to Amy Goodman every morning. I listen to BBC news. Terry Gross. Diane Rehm. I read. Mostly books, but also my local newspaper.

Back in the mid-70's, the other longest period without TV, that lasted probably six years, a co-worker was convinced that because I didn't watch TV I wouldn't have any idea what was going on in the world. So periodically he'd quiz me, and he was always astonished to learn that not only did I know what was going on, but I often knew more than was typically reported in the media.

So if you want to remain ignorant, continue to watch the news, whatever source you prefer. Okay, some I'm exaggerating a bit here, but more than once here on DU I've seen complaints about some relatively trivial news story taking over the news outlets. Turn the damn thing off! Read a book. Watch a National Geographic special. Go for a walk. Trust me, you'll be vastly better off.

Even Mitt Romney made his famous indictment of Trump last winter, calling him a con man and a fraud. The less said about Mittens' subsequent Trump ass kissing, the better.

The only former president planning to attend Trump's inauguration is Jimmy Carter. The Bushes want nothing to do with The Donald. And I'm sure Bill would not risk Hillary's ire if he attended.

By and large, these are not rational people we're talking about.
