As long as you only get the opinions of people who don't support Trump, you'll never understand this.

How do you mean?

I get that you're implying that people who don't support Trump can't know what goes on in a Trump supporters head or understand the movement (not true).

But if you can't explain it yourself then you simply can't know what you're talking about, you don't even understand what it is that they'll never understand! How would you be able to know if they are able to understand or not!?

No, people who don’t support Trump are perfectly capable of understanding Trump supporters’ reasons.

It’s just that they don’t, and don’t try to either.

Yeah, but you haven't explained it either in two posts now which says to me that you don't know and you're just being contrarian.

Right, so all that means is you don't know what trump tapped into and think that means no one else can.
