Lumping every Trump supporter into one group and dismissing the whole may be unwise. But really, we're talking about tens of millions of voters. Lots of fuckwads in there and to deny that may be equally unwise. Go on a case-by-case basis, I guess.

I can totally relate to this. In all honesty, I have not been able to find understanding or compassion for anyone I know who voted for Trump. They may have had reasons that were perfectly reasonable, but I have yet to hear evening one. When it comes to the "where was Obama on 9-11" level idiots, I feel like it would be unwise and dangerous to give them the benefit of the doubt, or to pretend that there's anything normal, relatable or acceptable about what they've done.
Hillary was right, and, if anything, going VERY easy on these people.
Sometimes people really are just totally fucked up. Trump voters are totally. fucked. up.
