While I wish that last part was true it obviously isn't...
Trump's supporters are OVERWHELMINGLY the sector believing in faux news, Russian-provoked propaganda, and those stories out of Macedonia made up solely to make money for the creators who only chose anti-Clinton topics (made-up out of air) because they got more clicks on Facebook...the guys creating those stories said that they tried making up pro-Dem/anti-Trump click bait but it just never went anywhere so there was no money in it and they stopped...
Trump supporters apparently have an unlimited capacity to believe lies, spoofs, irrational pronouncements with NO basis in fact like they are as valid and undeniable as the chemical formula for salt...
Not that most of them could tell you that NaCl = salt....

The greatest gift Alexander Hamilton could give us is for the Electoral College to actually do its job and for those electors to see the insanity and danger in a Trump presidency and refuse to give him 270....
I doubt it will happen but right now it would be a gift from the gods...

Trump on his promise to prosecute Hillary Clinton and "lock her up": "Forget it. That plays great before the election. Now we don’t care, right?"

Trump on his slogan to "drain the swamp": "Funny how that term caught on, isn’t it? I tell everyone: I hated it! Somebody said, ‘Drain the swamp.’ I said, ‘Oh, that’s so hokey. That is so terrible.’ I said, ‘All right. I’ll try it.’ So like a month ago, I said, ‘Drain the swamp.’ The place went crazy. I said, ‘Whoa. Watch this.’ Then I said it again. Then I started saying it like I meant it, right? And then I said it, I started loving it."

Just shows he will say anything to get what he wants and once he gets it, he has no qualms telling you he lied to get it and pretty much insinuates you were dumb to believe him to start with.
And at a rally yesterday:

'You people were vicious, violent, screaming, 'Where's the wall? We want the wall!' Screaming, 'Prison! Prison! Lock her up!' I mean you are going crazy. I mean, you were nasty and mean and vicious and you wanted to win, right?' Trump said to the crowd of thousands. But now, you're mellow and you're cool and you're not nearly as vicious or violent, right? Because we won, right?'


At the same event this happened

and then there is this....

Earlier Saturday, Trump tweeted calling China's seizure of a U.S. Navy drone an precedented act — except he wrote "unpresidented" the first time. The president-elect deleted the tweet and reposted it shortly after, but many onlookers saved screenshots of the original version:

You are naive to think the Democrats don't do the same. People want to believe what they want to believe.
