They don't care. The majority of Trump supporters think Hillary Clinton is a serial killer and Obama is a terrorist sympathizer. They probably think they deserve to be bombed. They definitely all think that it's been faked. That's where we are.
it's true - the long term cost of Trumpism is that many tens of millions of people just assume every politician is lying. Those tens of millions don't have the ability to decide who is telling the truth anymore, so they throw their hands up, say they're all crooks, and vote for the white guy who talks like them.
This isn't really new. People don't suddenly become severely mentally deficient overnight (barring some terrible accident). "Trumpers," as you call them, are people who were retarded yesterday. They're retarded today, and they'll be retarded tomorrow.
The only difference between these idiots and the ones who made equally stupid decisions 100 years ago is that the internet has allowed a platform for their retardation to be shouted to all corners of the country. Thanks a lot Al Gore
