What did Trumpers know or care about? [View all]

[Funtatlaguy]

Had an interesting Thanksgiving with fellow Democrats.
We were breaking down the election.
Lots of thoughts of what happened and why.
The best discussion centered about Trump voters knowledge of negative things that he had actually said and done.
I’m going to list some things.
I’d like DU help with your thoughts.

Of what I list, please write beside them that either Trumpers:
1. “Didn’t know” (DK) something because they don’t consume much news or only RW Propaganda news and hadn’t heard about it.
2. “Didn’t believe” (DB) something even if they heard it from a place that they had considered a reliable source. They just write it off to a left wing lie and say his words were manipulated by nefarious editing.
3. “Didn’t care” (DC) about something that they agreed was really bad that Trump did or said. But they didn’t think it rose to the level of no longer supporting him. E.g. “that’s just Trump kidding around” or “he really didn’t mean that or wouldn’t really do that”.

Here are some topics and you can add your own to the list and then please
put a DK, DB, or DC next to the items when thinking about the mindset of the Trumpers in your life.

1. John McCain POW comment: “I like people that didn’t get captured”
2. People that join the military are: “Suckers and losers”
3. Covid can be combated by: “injecting bleach”
4. Believing Putins version of events over his own American intelligence agencies
5. Wanting to withdraw from NATO and abandon Ukraine

(Feel free to add some more, if you’d like).
