Ignorance

We have not given enough credit to how hard Trump voters work to be true to their overlord. It's true that we all have traits that defend ignorance, traits like bias confirmation. But we also live in an age of information. The profoundly ignorant get bombarded all day long by the real world, by science, by facts that contradict their beliefs. Clinging to their faith in President Spanky must take wads of energy as they watch him boast of groping women, snatching babies from their mothers' arms, kneeling before little Putin, paying off porn stars and hiring a doddering Rudy to blabber about an alternate reality. Supporting Bonespurs is emotionally and mentally exhausting. Show some respect.
