(1,629 posts)No one goes through life... or maybe very few, believing they are not moral, intelligent people. Even Hitler believed History would prove him right. No doubt Mao and Pol Pot did as well. Even murderous racists want to believe white supremacy is somehow noble. Stalin? Not so sure.
Of course such delusions of infallibility are pretty much the norm.
If you dismiss all Trump voters as "stupid" you're blinding yourself to their motives... which means you'll never try to peal off those who can be salvaged. I don't doubt that some were sick of both parties especially on jobs... and saw Trump as willing to end some of these stupid trade deals. They may have voted for Bernie if he were running... but they didn't believe HRC had an honest conversion on trade. I didn't believe she wasn't still a neo-lib at heart even when she said she was against the TPP.
