What also concerns me is this idea of the "Trump base": a minority of voters who will support Trump no matter what idiotic thing he does. This group has utterly lost the ability to police itself. They listen to one news channel that is nothing more than propaganda and spin. When someone tells them that Trump did or said something foolish or reckless, they stick their fingers in their ears and whistle to drown out the bad news. This is not how rational people act.

And it all seems to boil down to uneducated white men deciding as a group that their lack of intelligence and talent should be worth more in the economy, so they prop up an idiot billionaire who promises them high paying jobs, as long as they put up with a few minor details: a president who doesn't read, can't engage in an intellectual conversation, has no idea how our government or Constitution works and gets bored when people try to teach him, lacks self discipline, frequently loses himself in fits of anger and panic, and basically acts like a spoiled brat who never grew up.

This state of affairs is collective insanity. Maybe we need to attack this Trump cult directly. If one of these people work at your company, fire them. If one of them is a co-worker, do everything possible to make them look incompetent at work. If they run a company, boycott their products. Ignorance and stupidity have no business or social value. We need to start enforcing that.
