    There is a reason Trump supporters live in shacks and squalor, they are not geniuses.

    Elon might be smart but he’s not a real Trump supporter, Trump is his puppet.

      Elon is not and has never been smart. He grew up with a rich father who became insanely wealthy by exploiting people in near slavery conditions for decades. That sort of money gets you a lot of PR and a lot of worming your way out of your problems.

        Usually and sadly:

        Poor = low education = worse quality of life = become gullible by believing religious bullshit = become easy target for right wing grifters selling easy solutions to your complex problems

          If poor people and rich people are both for Trump, who’s voting non-Trump because clearly someone is.

              Oh so income isn’t the determining factor.

                I didn’t say it was. The person you were talking to said “usually” and was talking more about educated people. I doubt they were claiming there’s a hard line.

                  Trump supporters live in shacks and squalor

                  The poor have enough problems without being slandered.
                  Many poor support trump, yes. Many poor also are LGBT and abhor Trump.

                  Generic assumptions are worthless at best, harmful at worst.
