Yes. i have no problem saying that every person who supports Trump is rube. There is not other explanation. When TRUMP HIMSELF calls his own followers rubes ("I could shoot a man in the middle of the street and they would still support me.") then I have no problem agreeing with him.
In all fairness, Trump said he could shoot someone in Manhattan and still be supported. We all know Manhattan is full of liberal d-bags that Trump's supporters don't care about...er, unless it's about 9/11 in which case that blue state is solid gold USA. If Trump said:
I could shoot a woman
I could shoot a child
I could shoot a police officer
I could shoot a US veteran
I could shoot a dog
I could rape someone
I could flash children
or so on, people wouldn't have been as sympathetic. Face it, the concept of a man being shot isn't all that offensive to people. I assure you if Trump said he could shoot a dog and implied that people still would like him that people would have actually lost their minds. I'm only half-joking on this...wacky stuff.
This sort of makes me wonder if you asked people on the street "Would you shoot a man?" versus shoot a dog, or woman, etc. how the responses would differ. Maybe the phrase "shoot a man" is just so generic it is accepted as being pretty simple in response.
