Former President Donald Trump's supporters say they hold him as a source of true information over their family, friends, and religious leaders, according to a new CBS News/YouGov poll out on Sunday.

I was downvoted for this comment on another thread:

1/3 of the electorate would be happy to have trump rape their kids live on C-SPAN and would line up to suck his asshole as an expression of gratitude.

I stand by it.

They would only agree to that if Trump had asked for it and in return he would torture liberals, then they'd line up for it.

He's unapologetically hateful towards "the left" and they love that. He's their vehicle to hurt us which is what they ultimately want as we're all "Goldstein." Reich wing media plays their "2 minutes hate" every day to remind them to hate "Goldstein."

The fact that Jews were the first to secularize in the rapidly secularizing West will be used against them until it can't be. As if being the first means you caused the rest to follow suit. I was naïve to feel surprised about this fact, but it still feels like a disaster.

EDIT: in hindsight I see my comment can be read in terrible ways - I am all in favor of secularization and nearly converted to Judaism a lifetime ago before I started taking Wellbutrin, no problem with Jews here.

Only if their kid was liberal. Then they'd be ok with it.

I feel that the (crazy) leftists would support this.
