THIS WAS ON A FRIEND’S PAGE: An anguished question from a Trump supporter: ‘Why do liberals think Trump supporters are stupid?’

THE SERIOUS ANSWER: Here’s what the majority of anti-Trump voters honestly feel about Trump supporters en masse:
@realDonaldTrump
That you hear him unable to talk to foreign dignitaries without insulting their countries and demanding that they praise his electoral win, you said, "That& #39;s the way I want my President to be." ( https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-insult-foreign-countries-leaders_n_59dd2769e4b0b26332e76d57)">https://www.huffpost.com/entry/tru...
That you have watched him remove expertise from all layers of government in favor of people who make money off of eliminating protections in the industries they& #39;re supposed to be regulating and you have said, "What a genius!" ( https://www.politico.com/agenda/story/2017/12/29/138-trump-policy-changes-2017-000603)">https://www.politico.com/agenda/st...
That you have heard him continue to profit from his businesses, in part by leveraging his position as President, to the point of overcharging the Secret Service for space in the properties he owns, and you have said, "That& #39;s smart!"

That Trump separated children from their families and put them in cages, managed to lose track of 1500 kids, has opened a tent city incarceration camp in the desert in Texas - he explains that they’re just “animals” - and you say, “Well, OK then.” ( https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/more-5-400-children-split-border-according-new-count-n1071791)">https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-n...
What you don& #39;t get is that our succumbing to frustration, thinking of you as stupid, may very well be wrong, but it& #39;s also...hear me...charitable.

Because if you& #39;re NOT stupid, we must turn to other explanations, and most of them are less flattering.
