Desperate people mislead by skilled con-artists. You can focus on the fact they got conned, and judge them harshly for it; or, you can focus on the fact that they're that desperate in the first place.
I think we only stand a chance at solving the latter problem, so sorting the "idiots" from the enlightened doesn't seem like a meaningful activity.
- tonyedgecombe 6y agoOne of the things that surprised me is many of these people aren't in a desperate situation. One of them even flew in on a private jet.
- pjc50 6y agoMany if not most of them are not in precarious situations or at the bottom of society. Like the retired USAF colonel. They got conned, but only because they really wanted to believe in the kind of supremacy that Trump radiates.
