The people who support Trump are generally non critical-thinking types who fit the following basic pattern:
1) They naturally function from a negative rather than positive outlook (they love to hate);
2) They are highly susceptible to propaganda and have been well-taught that the left is evil and the right is divine;
3) Trump is their metaphorical Statue of Liberty, except in the form of a gigantic hand with a raised middle finger.
In this political passion play, facts have no more significance than they have in religions.
