Yet if the latest New York Times poll is right — and we’re still a long way from the presidential elections — many Americans either believe Trump’s alleged crimes didn’t occur or they think they aren’t that big a deal.
It has to be the former. I think the one and only thing that sets these “lunatics” apart from the rest of us is simply that they trust Trump. The things he says are terrifying, and would drive any otherwise sane person to do crazy things to defend their country if they were true. I don’t think it’s fair to call these people evil or stupid, they’re just being played by a master scam artist. Add a little bit of ego and stubbornness to it, and I can see someone rejecting logical arguments if they’re coming out of the mouth of someone who just called them an idiot.
Fox News was started to get a future Nixon off. Even Ailes probably didn’t forsee the massive Trump family criming (we still haven’t talked about Ivanka’s Chinese patents and Jared’s 2 billion Saudi bailouts.)

A smart racist is an oxymoron.
Not all Republicans are racist, but all of them agreed it isn’t a deal breaker.
There’s racists in both parties, don’t fool yourself.
“poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids"
30% of the population still supported Nixon.
