Trump voters chose to take the blue pill (The Matrix)
"You take the blue pill—the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill—you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. Remember: all I'm offering is the truth. Nothing more."
The degree to which the film "The Matrix" reflects today's America is astounding. Trump voters have chosen the blue pill and are oblivious to reality.
(Yeah, the colors should be reversed, but ... who knew?)
The bottom line here is that Trumpites are slaves in a phony world that doesn't actually exist.
This is what we're up against. This is what we must fight against. This is why we must win. Their alternative "reality" is unacceptable to the human species.
