I'll never totally fathom how they can support such a bastard either...

"And you support TRUMP?? He is an ACTUAL crook, and has been all his life.
And 90 percent of what comes out of his filthy mouth is a lie.
He makes my skin crawl. Racist, stupid, greedy, and he cares about no one but himself."

... even though i fully understand the serotonin rush:

Punishment/revenge. The psychology of punishment is key to why
people vote against their own interests, says an Oxford neuroscientist
[...]
Crockett’s experiments have worrying implications. Firstly, her brain imaging studies .. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23426678 .. show that the act of punishing engages the part of the brain that signals reward. It’s the same brain area that’s hijacked by addictive drugs. “Certainly the raw ingredients are there, behaviorally and neurally, for expressing moral outrage to have an addictive quality,” says Crockett.

She also found that .. https://www.psy.ox.ac.uk/publications/505751 .. people often justify their actions by saying they were trying to teach a moral lesson, rather than because the act of punishing feels good. (This remains true even when a punishment is carried out in secret, and the recipient will never know of their punishment to absorb its lesson.) In retrospect, we tend to assign a moral motive to actions that are essentially vengeance.

Forgetting all that why would anyone want to have someone who doesn't give a hoot about them,
or about their country except for what he can scrounge out of it for himself, as their president.
