Politics are complicated.

People are fucking stupid and care more about in-group good-feels than reality or policy.

Many Trump supporters like feeling like they are part of a larger group. That's it. That's really, deeply, stupid. Like, dogs are smarter than that. But they see the symbols and the faces and feel good about themselves.

Some people are deeply racist or sexist and such, but a lot of people just want to feel like they're part of a group.
