but it's where I'm at these days.

(233 posts)They hate the Democratic Party because 30ish years of uninterrupted hogwash by Rush, Fox News and other crap infested "news sources" which have repeatedly bashed into them that the Democratic Party is full of evil people who hate America.

(2,962 posts)In 2016, maybe (and I said MAYBE; I dont think for one minute that Hillary Clinton is evil) they could away with that, but after his disastrous first term, to vote for him two times again, that excuse doesn't fly.
They have been brainwashed to hate Democrats despite the good our party has done for our country and will continue to vote for the non-Democrat no matter how incompetent and stupid that person may be. Plus they hate women and Black people and they don't hold children in very high regard, either.

(38,956 posts)Sound like a nice straw man to rail against, but what do I know, I don't talk to a lot of Trump voters.
My dad told me that Harris was a Communist, not that she was more evil than Trump. Yes, he is an idiot.

It's why we don't speak anymore.

(317 posts)the 'Apprentice' tv show was scripted. They thought Trump was rich because he was intelligent and talented. They did not know his history and did not bother to learn it.
From what I have read, he couldn't even stay on script! But, give him credit, he could (back then) stay awake in front of the camera!

(29,174 posts)It was usually that they didn't like him or they knew he wasn't really qualified but they liked his policies, he was a business man so he'd be good for the economy, Republicans were tough on crime and immigration.
Lesser of two evils was a both sides thing and Republican voters don't think both sides are the same.

(25 posts)The last thing a powerful Democrat needs is to appear soft and pliable, time to rip these flaming lying snakes a new one, and show the country some fire in the belly - Voters don't like weakness, the pukes see that and you are toast, fight fire with a blow-torch - the media might snivel but they have done nothing to help our party, why would billionaires (The media-moola-gans) want to help the middle class? They don't want to help them, they want to push them even lower. Bring on the HARSH, but do it smart, and know what you are talking about, and no more Swalwells either, vet vet vet, we are held to a much higher level in all the important things, as they say IOKIYAR, they get away with a lot. Not on a level playing field anymore.
