Donald Trump continues to show how unhinged he is. This doctored weather map that was days old to begin with is just more evidence that he can not, he will not, ever admit he was wrong about anything. Even in this case, it was just an honest mistake, and he couldn't even admit that.
His lying is hardly even comprehensible. There is no rational reason for anyone to support a liar like that.
Those who continue to support Trump, other than elected officials (who are just @ssholes) are one of two things:
1) JUST stupid (and that is a LOT of them).
2) Racist.
There are no other possibilities.
What is the ethics of being "JUST stupid?"
Is the stupid person at fault?
Have they done something wrong?
That is a GREAT set of questions.
1) I have no delusion about being able to change the mind of a stupid person. I am not trying to shame anyone. Just stating fact.
2) Some people are just stupid. Ron White says, "You can't fix stupid." He might be right.
3) Forrest Gump says, "Stupid is as stupid does." Perhaps HE is right. If Forrest is right, then you can stop being stupid by doing stupid things.
4) Pointing out that the only supporters of Trump must be either JUST stupid or racist is just stating fact. Those who are on the line between stupidity and not might be able to step to the correct side of that line. Those who are on the non-stupid side of the line might be able to hold their position.
In any event, I am not trying to affect action here. Just stating facts.
