Exactly how dumb are his supporters? Seriously who in their right mind thinks a billionaire will support the working class? Billionaires are the reason the working class is suffering...

Billionaires only care about wealth and power... nothing else

They’re certainly dumb, but also billions of dollars was funneled into social media and other efforts to ensure they believed they were doing the right thing. Both by Russia and all the think tanks of the heritage project and the like. They’ve been fucked by corporations/the wealthy since they were born, like most, but they were convinced by the corporations, by the oligarchy, by Russia, that the problem was immigrants, minorities, socialists, communists, and anyone who ever said maybe they should think in a different way. Capitalism empowered where we are and Russia took advantage, fanning the right wing flames
