What broad brush statement did I make that Esto agreed with that I have no personal knowledge of?
This one?
Trump (nor the overwhelming majority of his supporters) do not agree with most, if anything, Duke says or stands for.
I have lots of personal knowledge here. I know a lot of people. I know a lot of Trump supporters. I live with them. They are my neighbors. I go to church with them. I work with them, in Texas, in Wisconsin, in Minnesota, in Colorado, in North Dakota, in Florida. I probably could name 3 people I know who might agree with Duke. I can only think of one at the moment, but I'm sure somewhere I know a couple others. Maybe. I do not associate with them, but I do know them. I'm sure you know at least one.
Do a lot of people agree with most of what Duke believes? Depends on what you think a lot of people are. Too many. We can agree on that. But it is not a large percentage of Trump's supporters. Not by a long shot. I say most of what he believes because Duke may like McRibs. If so, then we could say BDM agrees with Duke and he is certainly not a Trump supporter (though he agrees with Duke on that). But on what most identify with Duke, no, most people, including conservatives, Republicans, Trump supporters, liberals, and Democrats disagree with him.
