The Motivated Ignorance of Trump Supporters

But it would be an affectation for me, at least, to pretend that in this particular circumstance otherwise good people, in joining the MAGA movement, in actively advocating on its behalf, and in planning to cast a vote for Trump, haven’t—given all we know—done something grievously wrong.

Some of them are cynical and know better; others are blind to the cultlike world to which they belong. Still others have convinced themselves that Trump, although flawed, is the best of bad options. It’s a “binary choice,” they say, and so they have talked themselves into supporting arguably the most comprehensively corrupt man in the history of American politics, certainly in presidential politics.

Whichever justification applies, they are giving not just their vote but their allegiance to a man and movement that have done great harm to our country and its ideals, and which seek to inflict even deeper wounds in the years ahead. Many of them are self-proclaimed evangelicals and fundamentalists, and they are also doing inestimable damage to the Christian faith they claim is central to their lives. That collaboration needs to be named. A generation from now, and probably sooner, it will be obvious to everyone that Trump supporters can’t claim they didn’t know.

we want tariffs and border enforcement, and a non corrupted legal system.

you're overthinking it all, douche-nozzle.

the simplicity of truth eludes you, making you very stupid.

Trump supporters are in no circumstance otherwise good people.
Good people are not expected to tolerate them....should not be expected to endure them.
Trump supporters not having been purged are why we're losing our democratic republic.

Yup.

Hillary nailed it with 'Deplorables'.

The alt right movement world wide is about 30% of the population that are fascist/racists who would force a world where women and PoC had little to no rights and they would think that great. But if anyone so much as tells them 'we are making an effort to phase out gas stoves', they cry, and cry and cry about how unfair it is to deny them their choice.

They reek of hypocrisy in words and actions. Rights are for me but not for thee.
