Some of you may disagree with my opinion about many Trump voters, and that's OK

I don’t invoke “determinism” to justify an individual’s behavior. But when millions have the same failing, we should look for systemic flaws rather than just saying “Unfortunately millions of citizens of ____ were stupid or evil or whatever.”

So what are the systemic flaws that led to people supporting Trump?

Millions of Americans being “stupid or evil” is a systematic flaw. It’s not like the awfulness of Trump or the Republicans is anything new. It took stupidity, willful ignorance, or genuinely supporting their evil for somebody to vote for the Trump and company after everything they’ve done and said; not a mere mistake.

The systemic flaw is the insanely toxic right wing media that pervades the airwaves. I have no idea how one counters that.
