General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: I'm a Silicon Valley liberal, and I traveled across the country to interview 100 Trump supporters [View all]All this sympathy for Trump voters is bullshit.
It's time to stop pandering to those who crave authoritarian government or have *need* for a whiter, more Christian, country. We need to make it clear to them exactly why they are wrong.
The majority of Trump voters I've met are anti-intellectual evangelical Christians.
The rest find some perverse comfort in authoritarian government.
I figure they were all abused as children by parents who stifled their natural curiosity, beating them for questioning authority or the family religion.
The U.S.A. has always had a mean racist streak. At least 30% of U.S. Americans would have been good compliant Nazis. If not for our geographic isolation and our Anglophile upper classes, the U.S.A. would have folded to the Nazis quicker than France. Ah, they're burning the corpses of useless people today, no big deal, just as portrayed in Amazon's The Man in the High Castle.
