That's true, but is there any way to reach that group?

There were what, 63 million of them? They're not all closeted racists with barely a HS education. Most of them aren't.

I don't understand the pervasive notion that anyone who voted Trump can't be reasoned with and isn't upset with how his administration has operated in the last week.

Maybe you have trouble understanding that pervasive notion because you misunderstand what people are saying?

Neither I nor the person I replied to said or implied that all Trump supporters are, well, anything. The other fellow talked about "lots of Trump supporters" (which could easily refer to just a few percent of the total) and that's the group I referred to in my reply.

I don't understand the pervasive notion that if you talk bad about any set of Trump supporters, you're somehow painting 63 million people with the same brush.
