You are right. There was no way in Hell I ever thought people would vote for Trump in 2016, but I was floored when he actually won. But what is even more amazing is that some people have watched him screw up everything for 4 years and they STILL support him !
What is really strange is that a lot of people who support him are not stupid people, I know a few of them and otherwise they are smart, nice people. They must see something in him that I do not.
Yes.
I just don’t get it from the people around me that are still ok with trump. Like people that I know personally
A few just don’t care about politics so they are going to do their thing no matter what. They may have the occasional “that was stupid” comment but I doubt they actually make an effort to vote either.
Then there’s the hard core conservative, they may not like trump’s actions, but feel ultimately the ends justify the means. In the sense of getting more conservative judges to overturn liberal judges ruling from the bench, that any tolerance to abortion, is equivalent to extreme moral failure - unless there are a few exceptions, and those exceptions happened to them. There is a strong need that other people follow authorities and do what their told, but again when it’s them- they are special butterflies and have reasons that should be exceptions.
Money and taxes are more important. There’s a strong belief the government shouldn’t help anyone. That private entities should do it. Only that doesn’t happen. Churches turn away as many if not more than they help. Some for valid reasons, others for not so valid reasons. Charities do good work, but there are never enough and they are never well enough distributed around the country.
It a different priority. More emphasis on individual, it’s hard for me to always call it wrong. Some of the people do good work. A few I know give significant amounts to charity, the physically put themselves on the line to help children in need. But yet... still, when it comes to Trump... there’s little complaints.
I don’t get it. Mostly because I think he’s a f***ing idiot. I didn’t much like bush’s policies, and he’s overall thought of as a poor republican president (in my lifetime). I’d much rather have him back. I couldn’t vote in the republican primaries in 2016, but I would gladly take any one of them now. I’m strongly liberal, but I’m not anti-republican. Politically on many issues (mostly fiscal) we need both sides.
