There you are you part timer lol,he was very rude and aggressive to one women and generally rude to some others,he really does not like strong women who won"t let him talk over them

He’s getting more tiresome now (not that he ever wasn’t) in the sense that he keeps fannying about with the briefing start time doesn’t he, and changing it or delaying it at the last moment. Anyway, probably see you later!
 
I can’t comment about Trump supporters because I don’t know any, but the idea that 40% of the American population are morons is a moronic opinion to hold. There’s a number of reasons why his supporters love him, and it’s a mistake not to try to understand what they are imo.
So you don’t think the vast majority of his followers (some 40% of the US) are creationist, religious fanatic, pro life or pro gun?

You can argue the racist element I’d bet as even in the Deep South, not that many are willing to go on record with their thoughts so it would be harder to prove to you.

I await your reply, a reply from someone that’s obviously done zero research into the above, and yet still has the balls to suggest it’s me that’s the moron. Irony indeed. Let me ask you this, in 2020, do you think holding the view that the creation myth (and the Earth being 10,000 years old) is a moronic view or one based on evidence, reason and understanding?

I don't believe 40% are morons. I believe almost all have either moral and/or an intellectual failing (including and especially self-knowledge and contextual/historic knowledge failings). The reason all of his supporters support him is that they he believe he will make their specific lives better, which is why anyone supports a candidate. That includes people who believe that he will make others' lives better, which in turn makes that individual supporter's life better. There are those who believe hurting others makes their own lives better too.

Nah. Just 38% are moronic because they vote against their own best interests. 2% are very rich who vote for him to get even richer at the expense of the other 98% because they are greedy bastards.
Figures are just personal opinion before anyone calls me out on them.

I'd imagine there are more elements that make up the 40%, e.g. idol worshipers (it could have been Simon Cowell), the uneducated disillusioned from communities with no more industry, the ones with a warped obsession with patriotism....

I’m awaiting his reply so I can show him the exact demographic figures and polling data for each. Because unlike him, I’m not a moron and I actually take the time to read up on stuff I comment on. He should probably do likewise, lest he look a fucking idiot with his passive aggression.

40% of your fellow Americans think the Earth is less than 10,000 years old. They’re fucking morons. I wouldn’t allow them to make me a coffee in my office.

I look at it differently. The stakes are very high in admitting this because it means you have to throw away the entire moral code you've based your life on if you admit that the Bible is not literal fact. If Genesis is untrue, then that means the Gospels and the remainder might be too. And if that's the case, there is no permanent punishment for evil or permanent reward for doing good. So life becomes, in their eyes, pointless. No one wants to de-anchor and rethink an entire life philosophy -- it's too hard. We all do it in one form or another (we all support City come hell or high water, right? :)). It's why Trump's supporters won't leave him either. It's easier to plug one's ears, accept the wildly irrational, dig oneself in than to rethink a life philosophy.

It doesn't make them stupid necessarily -- it makes them fearful necessarily. And that's where the amorality part comes in. Trump and his enablers, like evangelical preachers and hucksters for centuries, prey on this fear. They don't want to ease it -- they want to stoke it. Because they and their products are the answer to quelling it. Whether it's the Word of God or an anti-immigration, pro-gun policy.
