Trump loves manipulates the poorly educated. It's about time we all started to.
FIFY.
This is why Republicans/Trump supporters are so intolerable: they not only lack book smarts, but they also lack common sense. Why should we love dumb people who are too stupid to know anything about how our government works? In Trumptopia, being educated must mean that you're a part of the rigging conspiracy. The only way we need to love these people is by educating them. Oh wait, they think education is how the big bad liberal media elites indoctrinate you into believing their leftist liberal lies. Just trying to think like a Trump supporter makes me feel as though I lose an IQ point every time.
This college-educated white millennial male cannot wait to see these people grovel in two weeks.
When I was young and snot-nosed, I wrote flaming letters to newspapers, much like stuff I read here. Much like this post. Some even got printed.
Of course, I was young and snot-nosed. I hadn't really worked much, and I had only supported myself, and not all that well at that. I hadn't married, I hadn't dealt with the issue of making a marriage work, making ends meet for more than just myself, and I didn't appreciate the effort millions of my fellow Americans made to be self-sufficient and to raise families with fewer advantages than I had.
And I ridiculed those folks. Being a libertine at that time in my life, I resented the idea that folks would express the idea that a God that spoke this Universe into existence might say "Thou shalt not . . ." when it came to a number of behaviors. Of course, these folks, having reverence for a perfect and Holy God that I did not have at that time, could understand that a God who said "Thou shalt not commit adultery!" was able to see every case of STDs and HIV that would ever occur when he said that, or that this God could number the tears of every child who cried in grief because their parents were divorcing due to infidelity. These folks, these unwashed ignoramuses with no value and nothing to teach Lord Snotnose (myself) only sought to tell me how to live for turds and giggles, and not because they may have known something I didn't. But, of course, when I was a twenty-something know-it-all, those folks who were working and supporting families and attempting to live by Biblical standards (some doing better jobs of it than others) needed to listen to me because they didn't know crap.
I've grown up to the point to where I don't delight in Americans groveling. Especially working people. Having worked hard for 37 years, having to work hard at age 59 to support a wife who's a cancer survivor and an 11 year old son (a grandson we've adopted), I've learned far more of value from folks who work every day, go to church, stay married, and follow the laws of God and man, then I do from folks who have intellect meshed with contempt for folks who, quite frankly, have more virtue then they do.
The hardworking, family-supporting, God-fearing, patriotic Trump supporters that you loathe have more to teach you than you have to teach them. If you live long enough, you'll realize that I'm right. You'll also look back at your current attitude and realize why they didn't think you had anything worthwhile to say.
