Many Trump voters don't have a clue about American history. Trump voters hate immigrants, they hate people who can't speak english and they hate gay people.
Ask them this, Who trained Washington's troops during the American revolution? They probably won't know.
Tell them Washington's troops were trained by a foreigner from Germany who could not speak english and was most likely gay. Baron Von Steuben.

(16,646 posts)I was visiting a traveling Washington exhibit with some millennial friends with a definite Trump bent. One of them asked me if Washington was "in the army". I think everything he knew about Washington he found on a dollar bill.

(988 posts)To the right, liberals have caused all the worlds problems. They believe liberals siding for protection of lgbtq rights has caused irreversible damage and God himself is pissed. They believe all media outlets or books or anything that holds the right in low regard are just lying liberal media set out to do damage to gods wishes. They believe liberals are doing the work of the devil. Because that is what their media outlets are telling them.

(14,565 posts)Trump is great and any other version is fake. That's what they'll be thinking and saying.
Yesterday I had dinner with my 75 year old aunt at her house. She now has a 60ish woman renting a room in the house. Both of them raved about Trump during the meal. That's the reality we're facing. They had the local Fox affiliate playing in the living room the entire night. That's all they hear or care about.
Naturally it's awkward when I'm there but it helps me keep perspective on why Trump's approval rating is 40% and not 4%. The simplistic fearful types love him.
