    Your narrative is incorrect though. You can’t just call 1/3 of the country a braindead moron and move on. There are plenty of perfectly intelligent people that voted for trump. Simplifying all of this to ‘well they’re idiots’ doesn’t help anyone find a solution.

      No, there aren’t. The truly intelligent people who support Donald Trump are in the Machiavellian evil camp. They are the herding dogs that use their understanding of the weaknesses of human psychology to manipulate the rest of the stupid, unwashed masses who blindly follow Donald Trump because of their in-group dynamics.

      The intelligent epicenter makes up an extremely small margin of hyper-wealthy (and/or) moral Nihilists who’s goal is to collapse U.S. hegemony and by-proxy Western society so they can economically enslave the remaining remnants of the human race with discretionary economic power.

      So, no, it is not “plenty”. It is an incredibly small subset of individuals who actually understand what is going on, and are using it to their direct advantage.
