What is the right way to think about Trump voters? [View all]

I vacillate between sheer rage at them and forgiving them, for they know not what they've done.

I feel like we spend so much time worrying about STUFF-- so many stories and subplots and issues and nuances. All these important issue we as liberals care about. How many articles have we read and dissected in this campaign? And then we have this massively important election, where all that shit gets thrown out the window and we elect the most incredibly ignorant obvious conman possible. A man who several major newspapers wrote articles about, not simply not endorsing him, but saying that he was DANGEROUS and DO NOT ELECT HIM. And the American voters went ahead, like bumbling toddlers, voting for him. Except these people are adults and largely lead normal even successful lives.

It's enraging. And I don't whether to be mad at this, or just feel sorry for them, or just what.
