I think you're right.
Trump has pissed off so many factions, in their indignation they're at odds with not only with him but with anyone who doesn't share their specific butthurt. He'll do a lot more damage to the nation, indeed the world, before he's done. I'm glad it's not my problem.

You are trying to understand logically. Plenty know only from their emotions. If thinking logically, his supporters should number something well less than 20%. Why still well above 40%? That many are that emotional. The relevant expression was clearly posted here.

They want to "wreck shit". And only openly endorse their emotions when they have a bully to promote it. Be it Milosevic, Hitler, Hutu elite, Stalin, Pol Pot, or Trump. They know he must be right because their emotions say so. That many voters are not officer material. Assuming those who want to "wreck shit" are logical is a major mistake.

Not necessarily so, if one wants to "wreck shit" as a calculated act of desperation.

I was speaking of the democratic politicians/entourages that Tony referred to being insulted, don't drag me into your tangent.

You are my personal project. For the first time in your life, you will eventually perform a logical act. You may do it desperately. But anyone can eventually act as an adult.

I refuse to become one of you bags of self-righteous insecurities who are always wrong but never in doubt.

A classic emotional response from the reptilian brain.

Please withhold your profanity until you have something sentient to contribute.
