I chose this one today because I think it's sometimes easy for us on the more liberal side of the aisle to forget that there are real reasons why people support 💩. (I rarely if ever actually type out his name.) Their thinking may lack what we consider logic, and they may contradict themselves a whole lot, but the reasons for their fears make perfect sense to them. Are many /most of their fears racist? Probably. But too many of our media people and politicians and other public figures have tended to dismiss and/or ridicule those fears rather than understand them. (John McCain, for all his other faults, tried to undo some of this, at least once.) And now it may be too late.
