Understand.  I have one brother who thinks Trump is the country's salvation and the other sides with me that he is narcissist, Fascist, and generally thoughtless.  Which has brought me to the conclusion (anecdotally) that most Trump supporters read no print media and do not travel.  Their view of the world comes almost entirely from the boob tube, where they watch only that which doesn't offend their prejudices.  They are told what to think, and they believe that because they've successfully filtered out anything that disagrees with them and their prejudices.  

My $.02.
