3. It's tough to be glow in the dark white, old, and have a little money

because so many people ASSume I'm going to vote for that raging Cheeto. There is no way on gawd's green earth I'd vote for that blowhard and I've got plenty of company among other palefaces in this white minority state, a place you'd think people would divide themselves along color lines. Uh-uh, economic yes, color no.

In red states, the media, clergy, and everybody around you will be spouting the Republican party line, and if you're working hard and don't have the time, talent or inclination to spend time fact checking, you're going to believe the horseshit everybody around you is spewing. That's where Asshole's white support is coming from. They're not Klanners or meth heads, they're just hard working people who never hear the other side of the story.

Then there are the truly disgusting human beings he's pandered to all along. I don't know what percentage they are, but I tend to guess they're around 50% of his most vocal supporters. I also know that a fair proportion aren't registered, something that must have dawned on Asshole's campaign staff if one of their latest commercials offering to register people is accurate. Fortunately, it's too late to register in a lot of states and even if they do, are they smart enough to find the polls?

I don't think garnering the angry white male vote is going to be enough for him. I sincerely hope not.
