This is the logical step I've never been to follow and I am open to understanding. If Trump, the GOP. and all of his supporters are idiots, how did they win? If the liberals and liberal candidates were so smart, why did they lose so badly? It seems it would be easy to control a mass of idiots. I'm not trying to flame, I've never been able to follow this logic and am interested in how others view it

They aren't idiots. That's a big generalization to make. There are idiots on both sides as well as very smart people. Bad guys and good guys.
I completely agree. I think the outcome of event proves that. I am interested on how this generalization can be so pervasive in the media and among internet communities despite the democrats getting blown away in the presidential, congressional, and state elections
