Have you actually tried to have a conversation with a Trump supporter?  Even when it’s not about politics, you can’t reason with them.  The other day one that works in the building told me that my A\/C would work just fine with the tube that carries the heated air out the window disconnected.  No explanation about how an A\/C works would convince him.  To get my A\/C reconnected, I had to end run around him to another staff member.  I’ve known this for some time, but this morning I say a video that shocked even me.  It was of a mock focus group.  The material was absurd by intent, but the Trump Supporters, were quite real.<\/font><\/p>\n

Triumph the Insult Comic Dog has been running a \u201cTriumph Summer Election Special 2016\u201d on Hulu. It\u2019s kind of amazing. One of the bits Triumph and crew did was bring in a group of Trump supporters, ostensibly to be a \u201cfocus group\u201d for a new set of campaign advertisements that Donald Trump wanted to roll out. However, the advertisements are outrageous\u2014even for Donald Trump (maybe?).<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

The first advertisement takes on the issue of transgender people and bathrooms. A voice actor doing a pretty good Trump impression can be heard over the commercial. The turn in this first ad is the proposal to put guns in every women\u2019s bathroom.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

The second ad takes on the \u201cwomen\u2019s issue\u201d for Trump. It starts with a voice over by Trump: <\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

I\u2019m a big fan of women and they\u2019re big fans of me. Some want to vote for Crooked Hillary just because she\u2019s a woman \u2026 but it she?<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

From there it goes into a series of conspiratorial questions wondering aloud whether Barack Obama is actually a woman and Hillary Clinton is actually a man. It\u2019s kind of extraordinary. At every point, they show the people being \u201cfocused grouped\u201d try to bend their minds to the concepts being put forth in these \u201cadvertisements.\u201d…<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
