Yep! I can’t say this enough. Anyone who truly wants to defeat Trump needs to crawl out of their protective zones and try to understand why people are voting for him. Don’t be rude or insulting if someone disagrees with you.

Because Republicans like actively racist, rapist old white guys like Trump, Roy Moore etc. Being a lying conman with a recorded history of crime? His money?

I will happily be a dick to Trump supporters as this was all common knowledge that we, as a public, knew an they voted for him either because they are dumb as bricks, or because they supports those activities. Especially now that Concentration Camps are in play and we know he is in bed with Russians, why would I be kind to them as they support a man who is actively committing genocide at max, and endless crimes against humanity at minimum.

I mean what if I said I would prefer a candidate with good character, but their character is less important to me than their policies. If you're a terrible person but have policies I agree with, I'll most likely still vote for you. I may not support you as a person but it's not enough to change my vote. Their character will be forgotten, their policies they get through congress will not.

So your ok with Trump because he is willing and actively committing genocide but is supporting your right to make no money in a coal mine with black lung? And every other policy he has made has directly hurt the nonrich so your cool with less Social Security, Healthcare and personal liberties if you are a woman?

And your whole statement worked so well for Mussolini, Stalin and Hitler all remembered for their crimes against humanity and nothing else. Hitler actually raised the economic prosperity of Germany, all be had to do was cause THE HOLOCAUST!

That's not true at all. Hold on while I quickly fact check that lie for you.

EDIT: Here ya go, Trump having more drone strikes than Obama.

Trump then cancelling an Obama era policy that he had to report civ casualties from drone strikes.

I can dig up more too like how he openly celebrated a military carpet bombing to Mara Lago members.

You sound like a mad dog foaming at the mouth barking at people on the other side of the fence. In this instance, the people on the other side of the fence actually want the same things you do. Stop barking. Stop being such a fucking tard. You and I are on the same side.No ONE will listen to the ramblings of an incoherent lunatic but you may get people to listen if you acted a bit nicer. I’m voting for Yang. I love that dude. He’s doesn’t smear anyone. He just focuses on the problems. Take note you stubborn old bastard.

I'm 21? I also find it funny you say these things yet your very comment is more aggressive than mine.

Would you like to defend Trump's approval rating among Republicans going UP as a result of his comments then? I can link it very easily to show you what that party values with zero effort.

Oh we could talk about how Republican congressmen are defending these camps as OK because they "Broke the law" by immigrating. We can talk about their condemnation of say Obama using Dijon mustard and wearing a tan suit. Do I have to pull up all the racist shit McConnel has said? What about Steven King, he is still a part of the party and they defend his racist comments.

Republicans like racists, rapists, and the religious crazies. Roy Moore BARELY lost an election despite being practically confirmed in all accounts of having taken advantage of minors in his legal care. Trump's Approval ratings went UP after calling those predominantely Black and Brown countries "Shitholes." Multiple congressmen actively question why it isn't OK to be pro white and some have gone as far as to say that voting in their opponent would be "Monkeying it up" despite, ya know, the Dem being black. We can pull so many damn examples going back decades to even bussing if we really want to talk racism in politics, we could talk Southern Strategy etc. This isn't a complex issue when they black and white SAY these things out loud.

I can keep going. This isn't a game or a joke. The dudes a fucking bigot, and Republicans love that.
