At some point, you really have to wonder why anyone bothers try to engage with people online when they're being so willfully stupid or contrarian.

Enter Deborah Nadoolman Landis, the highly-celebrated costume designer of Raiders Of The Lost Ark, Michael Jackson's Thriller, The Blues Brothers, Coming to America and about a dozen or movies through the years.

We wonder why some of these people voted for Trump. Here's a good reason.
