There was a televised election event last night. No one could possibly say this was a debate let alone a presidential debate. But Trump's minions were still delighted. "Trump campaign communications director Tim Murtaugh put it this way: 'They're only doing this because their guy got pummeled last night. President Trump was the dominant force and now Joe Biden is trying to work the refs'."
The percentage of people who disagree with Murtaugh is probably higher than his IQ. The Proud Boys were happy because they got a shout out from Trump although today he is denying that he even knows who or what they are. I know that I cannot even approximate the mindset of a Trump voter, a fact that actually gives me pause because part of me still wants to believe that Americans can learn, albeit grudgingly, to put up with their neighbors' political views. But the vitriol and venom of Trump voters never allows for discussion, never allows for interaction. Trump is their hero because he does what all of them want to do. That is what is frightening.
