    I still have a hard time understanding how people come to support Trump. Like what led people to become like this? I can’t wrap my head around it. It’s like supporting someone who is bullying you.

      Big part of it is his supporters are detached from reality. They have a faith-based belief system.

      A lot of his supporters are born Republicans. Their parents voted Republican, and their grandparents. To them voting Republican isn’t a choice, it’s what’s expected of them. They don’t participate in the Republican party, they just consume it, like American’s consume everything else. Those people will never once question why they’re voting that way, it’s what their parents did, their community does, and it’s what their children will probably do too.
