out to Donald Trump's supporters.
It needs to be pointed out that there is a difference between Trump voters and Trump
supporters because there are plenty of people in this country who voted for Donald Trump
who realize that they were conned.
They do not like him.
They do not support him and some of them even support impeachment at this point.
They were disaffected, they were sold something that didn't exist and those people can still
be reached out to.
But the people who still say, "I like Donald Trump.
I support Donald Trump."
There is absolutely no reason for any Democrat, liberal, or Progressive to reach out or have
a reasonable conversation with any of those people.
Here's why.
According to the newest polls, those hardcore Donald Trump supporters do not believe, 2/3
of them do not believe that Donald Trump, Jr. ever met with any Russians ever.
That meeting that Donald Trump, Jr. himself admitted happened, they still don't think
it happened.
Furthermore, majority of them do not think that if collusion is proven that we should
impeach him.
These hardcore Trumpites are out there telling us that even if Donald Trump colluded, committed
treason in order to win the election, I love him so much I don't think he should be removed
from office.
44% of Trump supporters believe that Russia wanted Hillary Clinton to win.
31% say they're not sure one way or the other.
In spite of all of the evidence.
72% agree that the whole Russia thing is fake news.
These poll numbers kind of go on and on here but the overall theme is that it's time to
stop trying to reason with the Donald Trump supporter crowd.
It's time to stop feeding those trolls.
It's time to ignore them, to block them, to get them out of here.
They add nothing of interest or of intellect to any conversation and there is no way to
reason or rationalize with them.
They will support Donald Trump no matter what and here's the grossest part.
Trump himself predicted this when he said, "I could walk out in the middle of the street
and shoot somebody and not lose a single supporter."
That was accurate.
Now Donald Trump is not a smart human being but the one thing he does understand is loyalty
and how people in this country are loyal to him for no reason whatsoever.
He has done nothing for the Republican base, for the alt right, for those people who put
him in power.
He's done nothing for them.
He never will and yet they will stand by his side through thick and thin, deny reality
whenever they have to in order to fit their little world view of Donald Trump as savior
and that's what they're going to continue to do.
That's why I say, cut 'em off.
Don't listen to 'em.
Don't interact with them.
Don't talk with them.
Most importantly, don't try to reason with them.
There are plenty of people in this country who are truly in the middle politically.
They don't lean left and they don't lean right.
Those are the people that we should be talking to.
There are much bigger things to deal with in this world than try to talk sense into
a Donald Trump supporter who doesn't want to accept reality.
