We have been listening to Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s craziness for over a year now. He seems to be deteriorating before our eyes. I’m here to point out some of the more ridiculous beliefs his supporters hold. Something different is going on in the brains of these people. Studies have been done, and they show that conservatives react strongly to fear. They seem to have a hypersensitivity to any fears or perceived threats.
1. The Slaves Shouldn’t Have Been Freed
Nearly 20 percent of Trump supporters actually believe that the slaves shouldn’t have been freed. I know that isn’t a majority of them, but anyone who believes in slavery is obviously bad. The fact that anyone believes that in 2016 genuinely frightens me.
2. President Obama Is A Foreign Muslim
Our poor president has been dealing with the crap for the last 8 years. These RWNJs still believe that President Barack Obama is not from here. A poll found that 65 percent of Trump’s supporters think that the president is a Muslim. Also, 59 percent of Trump supporters think Obama wasn’t born in the United States. Now for a big conspiracy, 24 percent of Trump supporters think Justice Antonin Scalia was murdered.
3. Newtown Was Faked.
A scary 21 percent of Trump supporters believe the Newtown massacre was faked. Over twenty schoolchildren and teachers were murdered. I know the GOP wants to keep their guns, but this “argument” is ridiculous.
4. Immigration And “The Wall”
A whopping 84 percent of Trump supporters believe in building the wall on the Mexican border. Again, 69 percent of them believe that immigration is bad for the country. That’s not surprising, but still bad.
5. They Don’t Care If Melania Is Here Illegally
Most of the Trump supporters I asked about Melania's questionable immigration story did not know and did not care. pic.twitter.com/aXgOv3liZX

They even said that they are OK with Europeans coming here, but they wouldn’t say who they don’t want to come here. These people scare me a lot.
