I would take issue with your comment that Trump supporters aren't well-educated. While he DOES appeal to (because, unlike far too many Democrats, he is willing to talk to) working-class voters without a college degree, he's also got supporters in the professional ranks. And beyond that, I'd argue that having a university degree vs. being educated have less correlation than ever - I think it was the late newspaper columnist Lewis Grizzard who observed, "I know lots of people who are educated far beyond their intelligence." ... ;-) And a huge swath of the votes for Trump came from folks like me, who didn't / don't particularly care for Trump, but voted for him as the lesser of two evils. Twice. So there are Trump supporters, and Trump voters.
Ms. Stone: Two thoughts, in-artfully drafted: First, I was trained to understand a leader to be one who stands up, hollers "follow me", and starts forward through withering fire, in full view of the enemy, death be damned. While us troops might prefer to hunker down in cover, to stay put is to lose all. Our hearts respond to the example, and we draw ourselves up to spit in the foe's eye. Trump has done that for a great many among us. Now Carlson, Cooper, Stone, DeSantis and others are now up and running resolutely forward towards the breach forced by The Don, figuratively and literally below the Stars and Stripes. Second, our G.I.s in North Africa began to decimate the German forces when, during within-earshot mountain fighting, the Germans cheerfully slagged American mothers. I submit that's where we are right now vis the Left, and we just got a new supply of grenades and water. Cheers, as ever.
