Nobody could possibly look at that answer and affirmatively say that this is the individual they want in charge of the country. Nobody.

Spite is the only reason that someone could possibly vote for this person- anybody voting for Trump is doing it because they hope he is going to hurt people.

Leaving aside the rest of the insanity from the answer, how this part doesn't make anybody's blood boil is beyond me:

"Very importantly you had hundreds of thousands of people come to Washington, they didn’t come because of me they came because the election, they thought the election was was a rigged election, that’s why they came."

Hey Donald, WHY DID THEY THINK THE ELECTION WAS RIGGED? Do you think it's because you and your campaign spent months lying that the election was rigged? This effing coward NEVER takes responsibility for anything. The idea that he's not responsible for duping millions of people into thinking the election was rigged - thousands of them so much so that they came to DC and then tried to storm the Capitol for him - is absurd.
 
Found another reaction shot -- I kind of worry for the attendees getting sucked into this, at this point -- their reactions seem genuine (and justified) but I wouldn't love the internet trolls this could start to attract ...

I believe it was at one of his 2020 campaign rallies, but I'll never forget when he completely dropped the veil once and straight up told his audience that they're all dumb. Of course, being dumb, they just laughed. It was truly a remarkable moment.

I dunno. I know plenty of lawyers who support Trump and they are not idiots, and unfortunately I know some Harris supporters who are absolute morons. There are plenty of people on both sides of the aisle who have a reasonable basis for supporting one side or the other due to whatever issues are most dear to them, but tend to be tribal about sticking with a side regardless of obvious flaws in a particular candidate. There are others who see the flaws and simply do not care -- they are aching for that upper class tax cut, for instance (to paraphrase Krusty the Clown), or have deeply based and genuine opposition to abortion, say, or believe that LGBTQ rights are more important than anything else and they would rather have a corrupt leader who agrees with them.

I think it is counter-productive to assume or insist that everyone who disagrees with you politically is just stupid or mislead. Plenty of people are just as baffled by support of Kamala Harris as I am by support of Trump. I mean, sure, they're wrong about plenty of stuff, in my opinion, but that doesn't make them dumb. Frankly, in America, if you don't get the votes of stupid people, you are going to lose in a landslide. But the range of intelligence of people supporting one side or the other runs the entire spectrum on both sides of the divide. Yes, there is an increasing concentration of educated voters on the Democratic side of the equation currently, but that has ebbed and flowed over the years as educated voters generally tend to flee from populist politics. And there are PLENTY of really bright people without college degrees and plenty of abject idiots with college degrees.
