In reply to the discussion: I'm a Silicon Valley liberal, and I traveled across the country to interview 100 Trump supporters [View all]AgadorSparticus
(7,963 posts)They spout an awful lot of the fox, right wing breitbart bullshit and when we question it, oh no! The mean liberal left is being "intolerant" so I am going to vote for a guy that is a monster instead just to defy them.
They ignore facts. One person said that it would be a deal breaker if the corruption was true. Before he was even elected, Trump was a proven crook! But they refuse to accept the facts because it didn't fit into THEIR narrative. They were looking for some saviour...facts be damned. They created false ideas of what trump is and expected the liberal left to disregard reality and go along with them. And if we pointed out that the emperor has no clothes on, we were bullying them. Well, FUCK YOU, snowflake!! Dig in your heels then. But it won't change reality. I am not your enemy. The guy you voted for, the one you ignored all the incriminating evidence is your enemy. And now you made him MY enemy too. Don't expect me to tip toe around your sensitivities when he is out to destroy education, human rights, civil rights, womens health, healthcare in general, environment, democracy...everything!
If you don't want to be called a racist, quit acting like one. Quit supporting people who are openly racist. Quit sympathizing with racist assholes. Ignorance is just not gonna cut it.
As for the anti abortion, if they are against it, I don't suggest they get it. But they sure as hell don't get to dictate to others what to do. You don't get to come at me with your dogma and EXPECT me to cowtow. The religious dogma in this country is out of control. Here is a dialogue I had with a woman I worked with in the past and is a trump supporter:
Her: have you ever accepted Jesus christ into your heart?
Me: yes
Her: how long ago was that?
Me: 35 yrs ago
Her: it is only good for 6mo. You need to renew.
I. Shit. You. Not.
I get wanting to dialogue and try understanding the other person's pov. But these people are not interested in dialogue. They are not interested in facts or reality. They are into their own dogma.
I am so over that. We need to just stoke the fire that has already been lit and move forward. 2018 or bust my friends.
