These people have been educated most look like

they have been taken care of, don't appear homeless or destitute. Most of them have or had jobs most good paying jobs. What I can't figure out is why in earth would they take all they have going for them shuffle out on to a stage, stand behind the worst president the most corrupt president a man who lies way more than he tells the truth ( common knowledge ) and degrade themselves time and time again. I could not live with myself knowing what I was supporting. I have quit jobs for in my mind were unethical behavior by the company I worked for and in no way am I a wealth man like many of these people. How can they live with themselves ?

They don't THINK about things like honor, respect, integrity. What they think about is the pursuit of fame, fortune, power, and more fame, fortune, and power. "Look at me! I'm so special!"

It has become increasingly more difficult to believe that there is basic goodness in everyone.

are there because they share Turds beliefs and values. They may not be as stupid, under-educated, and mentally ill as Turd, but morally, they are just like him.

They will have to go to rehab.

Like heroin, if you don't start, you can't get addicted. I do not watch Fox News for that reason.

Is there a Trump rally? It sounds like something that ignore social distancing. I can't see other DU threads that help explain what you're talking about.

by the only way they know.

In simpler terms, they are walking through life with 25-gal buckets in each hand. When they are given a handful of shit, they it put into the right bucket. When they are given a gold coin, they place it into the left bucket. When they are no longer willing to walk while carrying both buckets, they look for a new situation where they can start over with new, empty buckets.
