Both "sides" of the political spectrum are going to keep throwing mud at the wall until they find something that sticks. I'm trying to not be surprised.

In other news 66% of Clinton supporters have no clue....

Wanting increased border security isn't necessarily fascist or racist, but wanting increased border security does poll incredibly well among fascists and racists. I think a lot of people on voat would do well to try to figure out which camp they're in.

Which are you - fascist or racist? (Did I misread the question, should I assume that "none of the above" would have been ok?)

The two camps from the first sentence. So "fascist and racist" or "none of the above". Basically are they supporting Trump because of, or despite his coming off as racist.

"66 percent of Trump’s supporters also misidentified Obama as a Muslim, with just 12 percent that say he is a Christian."

Christians are about as Christian as Trump is. Look at super-Christian Duggar. Molesting his siblings, cheating on his wife with porn stars, accounts with cheating site Ashley Madison. But he's Christian. ;)

I disagree, Birther is actually a polite way to refer to people that confuse their opposition to the President with making up a conspiracy theory. Are you saying that the GOP wouldn't still be investigating this if it was true? With all of the effort to repeal the ACA, defund the government over programs that they don't agree, refusing to put forth any legislation for the President to sign or veto on immigration, the outcry over his use of executive orders (in the same manner as senior George Bush) to attempt anything and yet, despite "so many" people disbelieve that he was born in the US they wouldn't have found the "proof" and overturned the election (either of them) in order to have the ACA (and every other action he has taken) ruled null and void?

While I think some conspiracies have merit and we shouldn't let them disappear (the CIA's testing of psychedelics on US and foreign soil is one that eventually was proven true), most serve no purpose. (My vote for favorite "theory" that serves no purpose is the ancient alien "conspiracy". Why isn't it easier to question the "known" history, that maybe our ancestors weren't as dumb as the alien theorists wish.)

What term would you ascribe to someone who uses a conspiracy theory to hide the fact that they just don't like this President? Why would you defend this false pretense that is used solely to get an audience?

It would be nice if people skeptical of the government put their energy towards something that was actually useful. 9/11 is one thing but getting all worked up because you think our brown president was born abroad... so what? He's done more enough actual shitty stuff worth criticizing without wasting time on this nonsense.

I mean - 81% of Hillary supports want to go door to door and confiscate guns

Source - I asked a couple of hillary supporters over for bloody Mary's and omlets

Good way to get themselves shot.
