2. The "red hat" memes...

...I see them all the time. Split image. On the left, Obama or Biden saying something, MAGAts in a RAGE. On the right, Trump saying basically the same thing, but whatever he's proposing is ultimately VERY HARMFUL to them, and they're all high-fiving each other and yelling "YEAH!"

I think I've stopped trying to understand it, because really...what COULD anyone tell us about how they process his nonsense that would make us go "Well, yeah, I can see that..."

I've said it many times...I thought he was a boorish, annoying pig LONG before he came down the escalator.

And I do get the "HE hates all of the people WE hate" thing, but when he says things like "I like uneducated people. Smart people don't like me," and they cheer, I really don't think they fully understand what they're cheering for.
