I asked Donald Trump supporters why they believe that the billionaire real-estate developer will treat them any better than the career politicians they mistrust.

The dozens of replies that I received from across the United States make up the largest collection I’ve encountered of Trump supporters setting forth their thinking in their own words. And having read through this non-representative sample, I understand the candidate’s rise better than I did before.

No I'm not as bothered by Hillary's presidency as I am by Trump's, not even close.

And why would you be? The lives of brown people aren't worth much after all.

What does that even mean? You're not exactly helping your case.

It is sarcasm amigo. The candidate who you support is a warmonger. She has been instrumental or has championed policies that that have killed or impoverished many people. That have wrecked whole countries for many generations to come, have created a huge refugee crisis and conditions for the emergence of a powerful terrorist organization. That have resulted in the rape and sexual enslavement of thousands of women. But you are not bothered of course. It's happening far away and to brown people. They don't talk about it on TV or NPR, so it can't be that bad, can it?

I don't support anyone in this election (anymore). I am bothered by the potential presidency of either of them. I am bothered by the blatant partiality of the media; I've never seen annoying like this. I am also bothered by the blindness, naiveté, and stupidity of people who consider themselves liberal or even progressive, which is what usually prompts me to comment about the elections here

TRump openly talks about how he will control the press. We're talking an entirely different level of control. He wants to be like Putin.

Links please.

Still do not see him talking about controlling the press. Maybe you can find some quotes.
