There is a contingent of people that voted for Trump because they thought he was going to do every bad thing he is doing in the hopes it would cause revolution. Anti Trump, Trump voters.

A large percentage of them were poorly educated “Christian” rural types who believe that a priest can turn a wafer of bread into the actual body and blood of a guy who died 2,000 years ago! Magic wanders.

Surely you're not suggesting sheer stupidity is at work here.

As Sherlock Holmes said, “when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.” I’d go with Occam’s razor here—stark unmitigated stupidity

You don’t want to discount people acting dumb, but acting in pure maliciousness.

There’s a big overlap there. Dumb and malicious tend to go hand in hand in my experience—look at the whole Republican Party for instance.

I don’t mean those people. People that generally wanted drastic change to occur and believed the Democrats would never get it done. So they voted for Trump in hopes he would break everything and other people would fix it. Its not smart, but thats why they voted.

Well, they got drastic change, so yes, they voted for this.

Anyone who voted for Trump, for whatever reason, or didn’t vote at all, or voted for Jill Stein or Putin or whomever is dead to me.

He was truthful in that statement. He really doesn’t care about his supporters.
