Stephen Colbert Is Baffled to Learn 22% of Americans Strongly Approve of Trump: 'Who Are You?!'

The common clay of the West

Up yours Ni (not going to say it)!

Authoritarian personalities. “Once someone becomes a leader of the high Right Wing Authoritarians’ in-group (high meaning scores high on RWA test/Right Wing meaning personality traits not political description), he can lie with impunity about the out-groups, himself, whatever, because he knows the followers will seldom check on what he says, nor will they expose themselves to people who set the record straight. Furthermore they will not believe the truth if they somehow get exposed to it, and if the distortions become absolutely undeniable, they will rationalize it away and put it in a box. If the scoundrel’s duplicity and hypocrisy lands him on the front page of every daily in the country, the followers will still forgive him if he just says the right things” writes Bob Altemeyer, a recently deceased Professor in Psychology and expert on Authoritarianism, in his free, excellent, and often funny book ‘The Authoritarians’. https://theauthoritarians.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/TheAuthoritarians.pdf

Extremely religious.

With guns

Don’t leave out the sexual predators

That's such a glib answer that glosses over the deep problems we have in this country. We are a heavily indoctrinated country, much of it is remote and rural. We are haunted by the legacy of slavery and Jim Crow. We are haunted by religious extremism. We are haunted by a century of authoritarian propaganda to justify war. We are haunted by the ghosts of our people that were murdered and bullied into silence when they tried to speak truth. When will people start to understand this has never been a free country.

I usually refer to them as racist fucks, but I guess h******* bigots works too.

Nah. They mix in Newsmax and OAN to get a variety of opinions.

My mom is obsessed with Trump. She won’t watch FoxNews because it’s too liberal. She prefers NewsMax, OAN, and her Facebook to get the “real news”.

The 22% would think Fox News is to liberal

"God is a pacifist... GOD IS NOT PASSIVE ABOUT EVIL." Real English major we got over here

Yeah... I am stuck living with two and that video is basically how they used to talk. They are so much worse now... Started with the COVID vaccine for these two.

Damn... Look at the comments on that video

My Dad is a Trump supporter and not religious at all. He’s just a stupid man who won’t admit when he’s wrong, or when he doesn’t understand something. My Dad has always felt victimized and Trump is his idol - a powerful, rich man with a “hot” wife, who can bully everyone else around.

This right here.

That's the only thing I can thank Trump for, marking the dumb dumbs with a nice red hat

I know some extremely intelligent people (and plenty of idiots too) who thinks #rump is a genius. They stumble onto Q and conspiracy theories, start "researching" and finding validation on some random garbage websites and they're gone. I watched one fall into it recently, when she started watching CK's drivel after he was murdered. She essentially became born-again and climbed on to that turnip truck of whackadoodles.

Interesting. It is actually significantly higher than I expected. Every MAGA I used to know all threw their MAGA merch away and stopped supporting Trump. 

That seems to be the trend.

The dumbest and a few of the smartest people

We are.

You mean Trump rallies? lol @ that one time he scheduled an appearance then bussed a bunch of supporters to the site then didn't appear and then left them stranded
