Alarm Bells Are Ringing At DNC

This is true but it does not get to the reasons why people voted for him over Clinton.
Do you remember Hillary's "basketful of deplorables" claim? It appears that there are more than a basketful of Republicans that are racists, greedy beyond reason, and immoral in all sorts of ways. Trump appealed to the inner evils (we all have some) of far too many and now that they let their baser character take over too many are not willing to go back to decency. At least that is the way that it looks to me.

Those are just about the only reasonable questions that one can ask about Trump. If a person still does not know how bad he was I don't know how he can be helped. Forced to watch Rachel Maddow for 24 hours straight might do it, but I would not submit anyone to torture.
Again, no analysis just name calling. This is what happened in the media and with politicians for 4 years.

What evidence leads you to believe this?

The actions of the Republicans that support him. And supporting all of Trump's ideas and lies no matter how ridiculous or foolish that they are. He lost me with "I am going to build a wall, and Mexico is going to pay for it". Anyone that knows anything about illegal migrant workers knew how stupid that was.

So this is your evidence that Trump supporters are greedy, racists and immoral in a lot of ways? Ok. I don't see any evidence presented here that most are racist, immoral and greedy.

Pretty much observations and there inability to explain why they support the man. Usually there claims are refuted by reality.

They are greedy and racists because they cannot explain why they voted for him? That makes no sense.

People have different reasons for voting for him. Some are good reasons and some are bad reasons. Just like any other person voting for any other politician.

People that are greedy and racist almost never own up to that fact. That is why they cannot explain their support for Trump rationally.

The fact that you did not understand something that obvious is not a good sign.

The fact is you have not provided good evidence for your claims. You just said because they don't admit they are racist or greedy is good reason to believe they are racist and greedy. This is not a good reason to believe they are in fact racist and greedy.

I put forth a good argument. It was in fact a challenge. I did not see anyone respond to it.
