The latest story about Trump's comments regarding fallen soldiers demonstrate a shocking selfishness, disregard for life and a total lack of empathy or honor, which is—and I really want everybody to understand this—exactly what Trump voters like about him.

This won't hurt him.
Anybody still voting for Trump has to be understood as the sort of person who likes what Trump is: a person so opposed to the idea of a shared social life that any sacrifice in service of a shared social life strikes him as contemptible.

They know what he is. They just like it.
The last 100 stories preceding this one have already proved that Trump is a rotted soul—a man who has cultivated his bad qualities so relentlessly he has no good ones left. And beyond the stories is the daily proof of the man himself.

There's nobody left to convince about Trump.
These stories are still important! It's just that we don't tell them for the sake of his supporters—who have to be seen as so morally empty. they'd experience the manifest daily reality of his toxicity, and embrace him *because* of it.

We tell them for ourselves—and for history.
Trump supporters are people who have become well-practiced at finding reasons to not give a shit about any shocking or cruel or abusive truth—who construct alternative realities to avoid them.

I think they'll find a reason to not give a shit about this. https://twitter.com/_facts_matter/status/1302230831717548040?s=20
I don't see how any other conclusion can be reached. The promise of unbridled white supremacy is the one promise he's never broken. https://twitter.com/f_emasculata/status/1302231770104909826?s=20
Yes. It's important to keep revealing more and more about him, to track and record as precisely as we can the contours of all the rancid qualities a white supremacist America finds attractive. To completely map out the entire grotesque truth. https://twitter.com/StephenBevan15/status/1302231765034184705?s=20
