I strongly recommend you read John Dean’s book: “Authoritarian Nightmare – Trump and his followers”. He explains it more thoroughly and convincing than I can, heavily supported by extensive research, – to underscore what is so obvious to the majority of us. And, no, – Dean doesn’t pay me for the recommendation! I do it as a much needed social service.

My comment here is intended to be a mirror that will help you see yourself and the irony in what you have posted.

It isn’t clear in this post which words are yours and which are John Dean’s, but since you are paraphrasing him it seems reasonable for me to think that what you have written is what you think.

You say that Trump supporters are dogmatic and prejudiced in what they think about others.
Now, take a look in the mirror as you read what you have written about others, those others being Trump supporters.

Here you say that Trump supporters are “unpatriotic slow learners” which is actually much kinder than most other things that you have consistently said dozens of times on this blog and in LTEs.
I know of no one who is more dogmatic and prejudiced than you regarding Republicans and Trump supporters in particular

Irony is often a source of humor.
I wonder if any other of your readers have sufficient wit to get a chuckle from your blog.
