Maddow is talking about the new PPP of attitudes about Trump

And it's stunning the way his supporters have basically an opposite view of every issue than any other subset.
59% feel he should not release his taxes, while it's like 70-80% of all other voters who think he must.

2/3 of them think we should NOT count Californias votes!?!? What the hell?

Every friggen issue, they just parrot what ever he has said by huge margins. And when you look at the whole country, it's the opposite.

Many of my right-wing family members consider California effectively a foreign country. For example, Dad used to work for a computer company that was based there. whenever he had to travel to headquarters on business, his Dad and brothers always gave him a really hard time. Made comments about gays. Made comments about Mexicans. Made comments about hippies. Crazy stuff.

To say Cali should not count and people would start saying it as if that makes any sense. Or that it was plausible. They LIKE making up stupid phony issues.
Who knew?

5. They believe unemployment is up and the stock market down and that's because Trump told them too...

And because the cable stataions reported it as DT "says" instead of "falsely claims"

It's more than Breibart et al. Cable news fucked up too.

10. Cable news, especially CNN's Jeff Zucker, are entirely responsible for this disaster.

I guess we have to add California to that list of foreign country, along with Hawaii.

9. And there are far too many people on this discussion board who believe Dems should pander to them.

You can't fix stupid. You can't change the mindset.

It is like pissing in the wind. Forget it.

There are millions of people who didn't vote and who we need to target.

will see ourselves out, Trumpsters... Best of luck to you with the Republic of Dumbfuckistan. Oh... we'll consider applications to our new country as well from other states whose votes shouldn't count.

Geez. I don't think there was any way to reach these dopes with facts. They were voting for King Orange the Stupid no matter what, weren't they?
