Take this in. Even educated, so called patriotic people like the CIA analyst in this article are calling for Trump to pardon people who helped Russia attack America, and even the very Russians who carried out the attack.
This has nothing to do with 'conservatism' (America First/patriotic), Rep. vs Dem., nationalism, or poor/uneducated vs educated like people enjoy joking about. A good amount of Trump supporters are educated. The only way their support for people who attack America makes sense is in the context of a battle to maintain global white supremacy, in which alt-right types make clear Russia is an ally.
