Former President Donald Trump’s supporters say they hold him as a source of true information over their family, friends, and religious leaders, according to a new CBS News/YouGov poll out on Sunday.

    My father is one of them. Because of his idiotic glorification and idol worship of trump, my family has told him to fuck off. Haven’t talked to him for almost 3 years now. He even believed the big lie

      It is sad to hear how we let the wealthy class and politicians divide us on culture wars and identity politics.

      We should be talking more to the people we don’t agree with and come together over class lines, working class vs. wealthy class.

      Trump and Sanders were both able to create a grassroots movement for a reason.

      Talking is the way to get to what we share in common, instead we focus on what we disagree on.

    They’ll take it as far as the pollster wants ask. It’s not really about what they believe or say, it’s about unwavering support and owning the libs. They know they’ll never be tested where they have to choose, so it’s just a big game to them.

      While this is certainly not far from the truth, it becomes an actual problem if too many crazies assume, they’re not alone.

      All the people storming the capitol did actually get tested and they “passed”.
