Do you agree that a lot of those Trump people really are sort of stupid?

Question

Some of them complain that we liberals look down on them (we do, but not all of them).

But, why shouldn't we look down on people who carve "Trump" into a manatee; are so out of shape, 3 of them died on heart attacks or stroke at the rally; smoke cigarettes and wipe feces on the wall in our sacred capitals; chant 'Kill Mike Pence'; kick and kill police officers, and take and forward hundreds of self-incriminating videos.

They're just like Trump, but even stupider.

There are a lot of deplorables in that gang of misfits, yes.  I pity them for falling for the open con of a second-rate scam artist, but I despise them for becoming violent and angry at us for their own mistakes (those who follow that route, and there are many).

It is reasonable to expect that they would turn on the con-man that has been pulling their strings for so long, but I guess there isn't much reasonable about a lot of those folks.

If I didn't know some of my friend and family better, I'd think they were at least ignorant. I'm just shocked people believe one man's word all of a sudden.

When you are dealing with people who insist that the Bible is "The Literal And Inerrant Word Of God," who insist that "We don't need evidence; we already KNOW," then yeah, you aren't dealing with the brightest bulbs on the Christmas tree.

That does sound dumb. Counties that voted Trump also account for 29% of the GDP.

Yes.  It takes a certain level of gullibility to fall for Trump's rhetoric, to believe mainstream media distorts its reporting based on political bias but rightwing media does not, and profess the virtues of personal responsibility while blaming literally everything on Democrats.

truth is that liberals support communism, anyone who supports communism is either brainwashed, stupid or both

As long as you also condemn leftists who commit arson, murder, assault and other crimes for political reasons, I accept your condemnation of extremists on the right.

Truth is that Putin is STILL whispering in Trump's ear on how to take down America, and sounds like Trump's STILL listening to him...

Those are the "basket of deplorables" Hillary Clinton was referring to. She was right then and she's still right today.
