This is the personal attack:
> And that's call [sic] integrity, something that apparently is a personal failing to you.
And I spent my entire childhood in Oklahoma. I have friends there, and I’m the only one in the family who left (except my mom, who spent the last 5 years of her life just over the border in Texas). I know plenty of people who voted for Trump.
Otherwise, like I said, your unhinged personal attack indicates you are clearly not worth engaging with.

Ahhh.. ok, then I apologize for the personal attack. I meant it as what you view as a failing, I view as integrity, but that's fine, I could see how you could see it as a personal attack, so I apologize.
Now, onto the 2nd point - I'd love to hear from you, in your own words, why these folks you know from Oklahoma would vote for Trump. And I don't mean the simplistic, "they're bumpkins", "they vote against their own interests", "they're all racists", I mean, in their own words, what do they say?
And come on, Mediamatters.org? "Media Matters for America is a politically left-leaning 501, nonprofit organization which acts as media watchdog for scrutinizing right-leaning media outlets." A politically left-leaning organization doesn't like a right-wing organization? Shocking.
Let's look at an example, Tucker says “I don’t see” that “diversity is the strength of our country.” That's white supremacy? Question that diversity is a strength can be twisted to the idea that white people are better than other races? That's just complete unhinged honestly. You'd have to see the "white supremacy" boogieman around every corner to consider that an example.
Let me ask you this - how many people do you know personally, who voted for Trump? I mean, there are 63M of them, so it's not like they are hard to find. I'm going to guess, zero. But let's say you do know some. Can you articulate why they voted for Trump? I'm not asking you to agree with the reason, just can you articulate it without calling them racist?
