If you check a black city zip code you will find almost all non-Trump supporters. It's called"demographics".
It's more then anecdotal

You won elections because Obamacare went too far to the left - not because you "hunkered down" and focused or anything like that. And again, you don't speak for the many who lost it about Obama. Birtherism was a big movement - led by our current President - and there was a constant effort to portray him as something other than American. People were just as crazy.
Now, Democrats will start to win elections. Because voters in general don't like one-party control.
it was fringe. it wasn't like MS Democrat TDS "find a reason to impeach Trump -but impeach him we must"
The ugly irony for Trump though is he bought into birterism - nonetheless TDS consumes the Dems -while birthers were always fringe for Repubs

Too many of them can’t get Trump out of their heads lol.
The other day Chucky Schumer was confronted by a lefty who wanted to know when they were going to impeach Trump. The democrat ‘issue’ going into this election is impeachment. And you can see it on here.
Obama encountered nothing even close to that, btw.
Meanwhile, unabashed socialists are rising up in democrat primaries. That doesn’t concern you even a little bit?
I luvs me some' authoritarianism'..Trump wants better Russian relations,, need I say more??? huh??

And I'm the one that jaded you.
The funny thing is there is no derangement. They did the same thing with Obama, Hillary, several others, and even people on there own side like McCain. All of them together don't even have half of the scandal, and bs of Trump, even if you include Anthony Weiner. So if they were doing it without even close to the same provocation, they can't call anyone deranged.

#5 is a big one IMO........jealous zealots
5. Relative deprivation
Relative deprivation refers to the experience of being deprived of something to which one believes they are entitled. It is the discontent felt when one compares their position in life to others who they feel are equal or inferior but have unfairly had more success than them.

check out this little b.s. gem from the OPlink: Is this really Psych Today? they are beyond PC whacko.
even the "shithole" comment were about changing immigration to a merit based system
For( convenient) reasons the LW never differentiates between legal immigration and illegal aliens.
Trump has never talked about "white superiority" or black/"immigrant" inferiority.

Authoritarian Personality Syndrome
Authoritarianism refers to the advocacy or enforcement of strict obedience to authority at the expense of personal freedom, and is commonly associated with a lack of concern for the opinions or needs of others. Authoritarian personality syndrome—a well-studied and globally-prevalent condition—is a state of mind that is characterized by belief in total and complete obedience to one’s authority. Those with the syndrome often display aggression toward outgroup members, submissiveness to authority, resistance to new experiences, and a rigid hierarchical view of society. The syndrome is often triggered by fear, making it easy for leaders who exaggerate threat or fear monger to gain their allegiance.

Mott, you're bloody priceless at times. When I started a thread a little while back about how the likes of Stephan Lewandowsky and Naomi Oreskes, neither of which are scientists, try to claim that climate sceptics are mentally defective you poohed poohed it. Now you are doing the same thing with Trump supporters, surely you're better than that? You are venturing into Bowel Woman and Twatsky territory

The Republican party, going at least as far back to Richard Nixon’s “southern strategy,” used strategies that appealed to bigotry, such as lacing speeches with “dog whistles”—code words that signaled prejudice toward minorities that were designed to be heard by racists but no one else.
While the dog whistles of the past were more subtle, Trump’s are sometimes shockingly direct. There’s no denying that he routinely appeals to bigoted supporters when he calls Muslims “dangerous” and Mexican immigrants “rapists” and “murderers,” often in a blanketed fashion. Perhaps unsurprisingly, a new study has shown that support for Trump is correlated with a standard scale of modern racism.

An Analysis of Trump Supporters Has Identified 5 Key Traits
A new report sheds light on the psychological basis for Trump's support.

The lightning-fast ascent and political invincibility of Donald Trump has left many experts baffled and wondering, “How did we get here?” Any accurate and sufficient answer to that question must not only focus on Trump himself, but also on his uniquely loyal supporters. Given their extreme devotion and unwavering admiration for their highly unpredictable and often inflammatory leader, some have turned to the field of psychology for scientific explanations based on precise quantitative data and established theoretical frameworks.
Although analyses and studies by psychologists and neuroscientists have provided many thought-provoking explanations for his enduring support, the accounts of different experts often vary greatly, sometimes overlapping and other times conflicting. However insightful these critiques may be, it is apparent that more research and examination is needed to hone in on the exact psychological and social factors underlying this peculiar human behavior.
In a recent review paper published in the Journal of Social and Political Psychology, Psychologist and UC Santa Cruz professor Thomas Pettigrew argues that five major psychological phenomena can help explain this exceptional political event.
1. Authoritarian Personality Syndrome
Authoritarianism refers to the advocacy or enforcement of strict obedience to authority at the expense of personal freedom, and is commonly associated with a lack of concern for the opinions or needs of others. Authoritarian personality syndrome—a well-studied and globally-prevalent condition—is a state of mind that is characterized by belief in total and complete obedience to one’s authority. Those with the syndrome often display aggression toward outgroup members, submissiveness to authority, resistance to new experiences, and a rigid hierarchical view of society. The syndrome is often triggered by fear, making it easy for leaders who exaggerate threat or fear monger to gain their allegiance.
Although authoritarian personality is found among liberals, it is more common among the right-wing around the world. President Trump’s speeches, which are laced with absolutist terms like “losers” and “complete disasters,” are naturally appealing to those with the syndrome.
While research showed that Republican voters in the U.S. scored higher than Democrats on measures of authoritarianism before Trump emerged on the political scene, a 2016 Politico survey found that high authoritarians greatly favored then-candidate Trump, which led to a correct prediction that he would win the election, despite the polls saying otherwise.
2. Social dominance orientation
Social dominance orientation (SDO)—which is distinct but related to authoritarian personality syndrome—refers to people who have a preference for the societal hierarchy of groups, specifically with a structure in which the high-status groups have dominance over the low-status ones. Those with SDO are typically dominant, tough-minded, and driven by self-interest.
article continues after advertisement
In Trump’s speeches, he appeals to those with SDO by repeatedly making a clear distinction between groups that have a generally higher status in society (White), and those groups that are typically thought of as belonging to a lower status (immigrants and minorities).
A 2016 survey study of 406 American adults published this year in the journal Personality and Individual Differences found that those who scored high on both SDO and authoritarianism were those who intended to vote for Trump in the election.

We’ve seen those traits displayed here by Trumpeteers.

Man is that a massive pile of crap. Liberal losers are still struggling to comprehend the OBVIOUS. I'll try to help you with a couple of real life analogies that debunk the bullshit you have posted above.
My brother-in-law was a staunch Obama supporter and voted for him twice. He is now an avid Trump supporter having been attacked on several occasions for wearing his red cap and sign supporting him.
A female liberal friend was a staunch Obama supporter and voted for him twice. She told me she could NEVER have voted for someone as corrupt and political as Hillary.
There are millions of similar examples. The more the media and liberal leftist DNC try to portray Trump supporters as nothing more than uneducated, red neck, dunces, the further they push themselves from every day common voters. If you think you can win elections by insulting 60 million voters and making a mockery of our institutions and President, you probably aren't as smart, as sophisticated or as educated as you might think you are.
But, that said, I hope the left doesn't learn from the last three shellackings it has taken by the opposition and continues making a mockery of half of the US populace, her institutions and her flag.
