    I tend to think Trump supporters should probably be put in a padded cell for their own safety. They are clearly mentally deranged.

    Although obviously it's implausible to put that many millions of people in asylums. Perhaps anti-psychotic drugs could be added to the water supply in some areas to reduce the crazy?

      You still have access to a computer from your own padded cell?
      The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

        How does anybody know who donated to anybody's campaign? Do people in the States go around telling everybody who they support and give money to and vote for?

        Why is it anybody's business who he or anybody else gave money too?

              I believe every donation is publicly reported, at least up to a certain number. I think it would be not so good if politicians received money anonymously. Otherwise billionaire oil tycoons and foreign dignitaries could create their own politician. This is already an issue with Trump and Putin, could you imagine if political campaigns didn't even have to try and hide how much and from where they received the millions they use to saturate the media with their propaganda?

              Maybe donations you make to your church and other non-profit could be anonymous, but politicians must be held accountable to how they receive their money and how they spend it.

                  To be fair, I believe Republicans demanded transparency with Obama's donors during his campaigns. When the interest to know or to obtain something turns around, we're all pretty quick to drop standards to pursue it.

                            One addendum: The requirement of public disclosure only applies for donations exceeding $200. If you donate $200 or less to a candidate or a political group in a year, then there's no requirement for them to list you on their public expense filings.

                              after this post, do you ever expect people to take you seriously?
