Facts matter. Team Trump Treason supporters are being played. And for who? 1%? Listen and realize, in but one example, the impact of 2008. To their own detriment they buy in.

what dreams said:I encourage everyone to share their actual connection with Trump voters. I'll start.
I engage with Trump voters all the time. I've got Trump voters in my family (siblings, in-laws, cousins, etc). Some are spouses of best friends, some are colleagues. They range in academic intelligence from college educated to high school drop out, six figure incomes to welfare beneficiaries, redneck country hicks to country club executives. One is Native American. One is African-American. I know a few people whom I suspect are secret voters as well, but I've never brought it up.
I have interesting, civil conversations with many of them, and sometimes I completely agree with their perspectives. Some of them are impossible to talk to, so we don't talk about politics at all if I can avoid it, particularly my two brothers. I was with one of them last Sunday when the Barr memo appeared. Our two minute exchange ended when he insisted Hillary Clinton was going to jail, just you wait. Apparently the only reason she hasn't been indicted yet is because "they didn't want it to look like revenge after the election. They're just waiting." How did I not know that? The worst time was the weekend of the Kavanaugh confirmation vote. We had a family gathering that weekend, too. That was rough.
After we survive what feels like the end times, though, all these people will still be my family, friends, and colleagues. My life isn't worse for knowing any of them, and some of them I couldn't imagine living my life without. Some relationships are strained, but we make it work. It's too bad that not everybody understands how to relate to people who are different from them.

The same with nazis. They were not keeping up the movie-villain schtick when coming home to their family after a long day at Birkenau.
People consist of both good and bad. Not saying your friend is equal to Kiefer Sutherland in Jury: A Time to Kill or Ralph Fiennes in Schindler's List.
But supporting someone verging on being a white nationalist and above that is a crook and REALLY DUMB - still says something when you can support the other guy (Hillary or whoever) instead.
I mean, Climate Change is already slowly destroying our planet, so have fun backpacking while supporting a guy who doesn't even know what climate change is, stopping the fight against it, and I bet hurt small animals growing up.Post edited by Spiritual_Chaos on"Mostly I think that people react sensitively because they know you’ve got a point"0 -

Edit: Just wanted to say here, you don't have to respect Trump voters, but you still need them to consider voting differently if you want to assure a win. Unless you at least show them basic respect, why wouldn't they feel validated in their stance of opposition? Again: having respect for, and showing respect to, are different.Post edited by benjs on'05 - TO, '06 - TO 1, '08 - NYC 1 & 2, '09 - TO, Chi 1 & 2, '10 - Buffalo, NYC 1 & 2, '11 - TO 1 & 2, Hamilton, '13 - Buffalo, Brooklyn 1 & 2, '15 - Global Citizen, '16 - TO 1 & 2, Chi 2

But I guess that's just how it is, a huge big grey mass of idiots that both parties need to try to court every election but if they're not careful then BOM! suddenly they can fall for a racist, bigoted climate change denier.
They're idiots.

I don't think this is such a radical concept that lacking this respect will only result in the potential for more division.

DEPLORABLES.
It really is.
I know I'm way over the top with my depiction of (most of) them, but the bottom line is... they suck. They do. When you attach yourself to such a foul, loathsome individual... it says a ton about you. There's got to be waaaaaay more Americans better than this. I cannot imagine a second term as much as I fear one.
You don't have to search for reasons to dislike Trump. Corrupt. Lying. Immoral. Racist. Narcissistic... and on and on and on.
Didn't that fat tub of shit just call Schiff 'pencil neck'? Forget the times he mocked a disabled guy... a war veteran (as a coward no less)... a woman who just had plastic surgery... and on and on and on. Hey. Shut the f**k up fat f**k.
What's the upside? Seriously? There's not one.
Are there any decent 'high profile thinkers' supporting this worm? I honestly cannot think of one.
That when you support evil in any way, shape, or form you are evil as well.
The same goes for racists and racism.
That when you support racism and/or a racist in any way, shape, or form, including voting, that makes you a racist as well.0 -
