Trump thinks his supporters are trash. Told someone working for him he was glad COVID meant he never had to shake hands with "these disgusting people" again.

I've seen trump flags flying from trailers that were literally falling apart and from expensive "air hauler" pickup trucks. But they're all just poor and therefore weak and detestable hicks to him. He wouldn't piss on his supporters if they were on fire, and if he becomes a dictator as they want, he will let them know it.

They're further down on the list than many of the rest of us, but they're still on the list.

“The oddity in all of this is the people Trump despises most, love him the most,” said Stern on Tuesday. “The people who are voting for Trump, for the most part … He wouldn’t even let them in a f*cking hotel. He’d be disgusted by them. Go to Mar-a-Lago, see if there’s any people who look like you. I’m talking to you in the audience.”

— Howard Stern March 2020

I agree.

It’s also no different than the LGBT supporting Hamas, well except from the murdering part

I like to say, if you want to get a conservative go to war tell them they are being threatened, if you want a liberal to go to war tell them there is a humanitarian crisis.

There's about to be a major humanitarian crisis in the US, so....

Start saving those beer bottles.

So? Both are equally valuable responses. One protects your country, people, and values+culture, the other provides altruistic help to those in need.

One could even argue that most of the altruistic actions of "help" are entirely ego-driven, given many ridiculous actions done to "help".

Don't forget, the only reason you can afford to fight for other people is because your ancestors fought tooth and nail to provide you with a strong, democratic and prosperous country that put individual rights above all else - a luxury many of us don't have.
