His name is Carlos.
Means he might be Hispanic. In that case, he might have a vendetta against Trump.
But WAIT, Hispanics were out for Trump in FULL this election. So I'm not sure which finger to point.

These are the people thethe calls quality witnesses
"A lot of people think all Indians look alike. I think all Chinese look alike. So how would you tell? If some Chao shows up, you can be anybody and you can vote and ... anybody can vote on my behalf, so ID should be a basic requirement."

Thank you for posting this. This confirms what everyone here already knows: Thethe doesn’t believe in facts.

It also confirms he doesn’t actual read more than cherry picked/select Tweets and headlines. That was already known but this just makes it even clearer.

Yup. Kind of makes you wonder what type of things he misses at work and throughout his life by taking this same narrow minded and lazy approach.

I don’t wanna attack the dude in his professional and personal life (even though he spends enough time trying to belittle my profession) based on an Internet forum. I just think he exhibits traits of obvious mania and his delusions in his posting patterns. I also feel sorry for him because he’s fallen hard for the Trump con.

I study thethe closely because to me he is a type specimen for that portion of the population. very poorly chosen one is much less interesting to me than his hard core followers. I've talked to a few shrinks about it. There is kind of emotional aspect to the relationship (you could even call it love--though it seems to me a rather one-sided love) that is very different from what is typical of voters and politicians. It seems kinda unhealthy to me.

There is a time and a place to feel badly for someone. This isn't one of them. When you have someone who continues to push his agenda, spouting lie after lie after lie, all the while talking down to you when you don't agree with his "facts," and then when you try and have a rational, objective conversation about it he keeps going. Sorry not sorry.
He chose to believe in Trump. He's heard the endless truths about who Trump is and how Trump has literally conned people out of millions of dollars at the expense of their health and emotional well being, and yet he kept doubling and tripling down. That's on him. The people you feel badly for are those that are naïve, get the wool pulled over their eyes once or twice, and then realize what happened. But thethe keeps going back for more and in the process insinuates that all of us who are rational and smart enough to realize what's going on are idiots.
I don't feel badly for him and I will continue to point out how narrowminded and insufferable he is. I asked this many, many pages ago, but I am genuinely curious, out of the 5k+ posts in this thread, how many are Thethe spewing lies and false claims about the election? When it's as many as he's posted you kind of lose the right for people to feel badly for you. He genuinely doesn't care about us viewing him as a moron so we really shouldn't feel badly about his behavior.

People who find themselves, either through luck, hard work or coincidence, able to benefit from the policies of the far right are easier to understand. Greed and/or economic insecurity at least makes logical sense, lack of empathy for others notwithstanding. It's the lower economic and education demographics, who would benefit the most from policies that raise more people into the middle class, that I don't understand.
Like the policies which showed the largest wage increase for non supervisory positions in decades?

Wages have increased around 2.4% since Trump took office. During Obama's two terms combined, the average weekly earnings for production and non supervisory workers went up 4.2%. It was 4.9% his final term. They also increased 4.2% under Bush during his two terms. And 6.4% under Clinton. When you look at nominal hourly wages year-to-year, things are currently increasing at the highest clip in almost 1 decade, not decades. That is the only truth to be found in that statement.

You're in the right church, wrong pew. I'll give you a hint. Think of the cultural values of the ancestors of Trump supporters, prior to their immigration to the US.

I'm been trying to wrap my head about it. Much of the way I think of this country and its history is based on Albion's Seed by David Hackett Fischer. And I can readily identify the cultural core of his supporters as being almost linear descendants of the Scotch-Irish and Northern English strand of migration.
My thinking has also been shaped by Robert Tombs' The English and Their History. I learned a lot especially from his discussion of religion in the UK, the dissenters vs the Anglican Church. And then you have the Presbyterians off in Scotland. But it seems to me religion in this country, especially as it pertains to its intersection with culture and politics, has evolved in a much different way than in England. It is a culturally conservative force here. In England it has been more of an agent for cultural change. It wasn't always so, but that's the way its been probably for the last 100 years at least.
Thoughts?
As an aside, I think many of Trump's supporters display a sort of tribalism that is more Balkan than anything else. And sure enough it wasn't too hard to find this article about Milosevic and parallels with Trump:
https://theintercept.com/2017/02/07/what-slobodan-milosevic-taught-me-about-donald-trump/
Of course, none of these parallels and analogies work perfectly. But they provide insight.

You had it in the first paragraph and over thought it after that. Scotch-Irish cultural attitudes, morals, and pride still dominate the reddest parts of the map. The clannish nature still holds.
Recall the Irish being so sick of the English tyranny that the United Irishmen were willing to invite the French ashore? Flaws aside, Trump jumped right into the fray, fully on their side. Who was the last politician to do that? He's not part of the clan, but he is part of the clans. Short of him turncoating, they'll stay on his side until they or he gets carried off on a shield.
