    But from my interactions, it seems you really aren't interested in understanding, you are convinced Trump supporters are either stupid, racist, hompohobes, ignorant, uninformed, insane, or all of the above.
    Trump won by appealing to white voters.
    That's what clinched it for him. Not "poor". Not "working class". He did not win those groups.

    White.

    His entire campaign was a dog whistle on racism, from his campaign launch about "Mexican racists" to his closing ads.

    Trump won with identity politics, as much as his supporters don't want to believe it.

    Yeah I feel like people who keep touting that shit weren't the ones being targeted by the ads, social media, etc.

    I'm a registered Republican living in a mega close swing state (VA) and I was basically bombarded with racist garbage in every facet of my life for months. There wasn't shit about protecting workers. It was literally an appeal to my color and wanting to protect "my culture" while drowning me in anti Clinton fake news.

    No she's saying the Japanese internment is so bad Takei doesn't want to see it again. Trump also has the most anti LGBT administration.

    But, until that happens, you'll fill their shoes? Because, so far, you are bringing up chocolate. While braying about it like a jack ass, is a mater if opinion.

    Don't worry, Kelly is on the case.

    He's not being fired "today".

    He's not quitting "today".

    He was very specific about those words.

    In all seriousness, Kelly (as per @Skroe description) knows full well what the situation is, and knows full well what his departure would do. He's got a tough job, but a critical one.

    The real mystery, of course, is that Kelly only said this, because reporters asked...and they only asked, because Trump said the Fake News story about Kelly quitting was Fake News. No such story existed. And Trump did not cite one, unlike the NBC story which he's mysteriously given up on -- almost like he knows he's lost that one. So, either Trump went off on some no-name media story that nobody else cared about, OR he's intentionally make up stories about WH infighting...and thinks that will help.

    And then Kelly had to refute them, either way. Maybe he's not quitting "today", but that's got to be demoralizing. Hang in there, General.

    You can just look at the elections that have happened since Trump was voted in. You don't even need to look at polling. You can also look at the disharmony in the current GOP and go from there.

    It would also help if he understood that how polls and predictions work, and that they were virtually spot-on with the way people voted. It's just that a very tiny (dare I say Trump-sized) handful of votes in the right states shifted the outcome.

    Not quite. I'm just showcasing the double-standard. Much like is the case with Weinstein.

    Who had issue with Trump being white? No one is talking about him being white, but the bronzer he puts on his face.

    There is no double standard... you are comparing make up, to race...

    Trump wakes up in the morning, no orange make up. Nothing to make fun off. Trump sits down with his stylist, dumps a shit ton of bronzer on his face. Suddenly, he is orange... people make fun if him.

    Did Trump do something to get made fun of or was he born this way?

    Yeah, I don't think it was to make a claim to some orange race. That's on @The Penguin to figure out. He is wearing make up, people give him shit. You can call it bitchy... but, that's about all it is...

    By taking out the word I italicized because it's the key word in the sentence?

    there's nothing to figure out beyond you once again throwing shit at the wall. "oh how can I paint liberals as awful in this post?" "hmmm, I know! insinuate they're racists for making fun of a spray tan! hahahahah got em!"
