At last we've got there.
I imagine around 60m Americans will vote for Mr Trump. Your contention that they are all "religious loons, neonazis and white supremacists" is plainly absurd and it has no foundation in fact. What you are saying is that those 60m people are all wrong and you are right. In fact none of you is either right or wrong; it's simply that they have different opinions and views to you. But you seem completely and utterly unable to accommodate that. I quote:
"if someone votes for trump they are either uninformed to the point of absurdity or they are a horrible person."
This 'different views' idea is nonsense. It's OK then to vote for an insurrectionist who attempted to cling on to power by violence if that's cancelled out by his other 'qualities'? And he's on record pleading with Georgia's Republican secretary of state to find some extra votes, ie cheat, in the last election.
Forgive me if I've misunderstood but didn't the Nazis in WW2 also hold different opinions
i'm sorry but yes. i have lots of americans in my life who i love. they do live in a country that has tens of millions of people in it who are quite simply rotten. there are lots of reasons for that - some are racist, some have had difficult and unpleasant lives, some are beholden to religion and yes quite a lot of americans hold to extreme ideologies imcluding neonazism. there is not a trump voter alive who doesn't know about january 6 or the party's assault on women's rights or the exterminationist rhetoric about trans people or the racism that comes from the trump campaign or the frankly enormous number of nazi militias that mysteriously turn up to all his events. if they still vote for him then they are either in agreement with those things or they don't care.
tens of millions of germans supported the nazis. they looked at the nuremburg laws, kristallnacht, exterminating the disabled and locking up communists and thought "yep, that's fine by me". it was a reprehensible decision by a sick and damaged proportion of society. i think that such a constituency exists in the USA and i base my view on my contact with that country and with simply observing basic facts about the trump movement. i don't care if you find it crass.
