The thing i dont get about trump supporters is why trump?? Like why go so hard to defend someone so filled with abhorrent and obvious flaws? Like it would be one thing if he was like secretly evil and had like a good persona, but he genuinely just evil 😭

100% like there are charismatic evil people out there, they’re obviously still awful but at least I can understand why someone was swayed

Trump supporters’ populations usually fall into lower literacy rates / education. Obv it’s just all propaganda and it’s aimed at people that don’t have the skill set to actually look deeper. Most of US political propaganda is just to drive conflict bt different groups to keep people from being united and actually doing shit. But yeah it’s all BS and it’s on purpose

Trump’s rhetoric provides a permission structure for people to voice the beliefs they always had but used to be socially unacceptable. Even on the right being openly bigoted and anti-intellectual was seen as at least embarrassing if not unacceptable as on the left, but now it’s basically required.

Why do trump supporters support him? Bc he advocates for things they want. Supporters want to get rid of illegals, trump what’s that, supporters want to get rid of dei, trump wants that too.

You could say the same about Biden and the rest before, I don’t support trump, I think he’s a moron but this logic is stupid, rewrite this and post it again

Trump could not give a shit what his supporters want he makes it so clear all he wants to do is line his pockets and use his power to get him out of being punished for his crimes. He switches up his beliefs every year to just get people to think he agrees with them so he can maintain support from his base and thats literally it.

Biden was a senile old man and his supporters didn’t start a cult around him and literally wanted someone else. He was a run of the mill establishment useless democrat. And also biden actually had the occasional non-evil policy but thats not even the point. Imagine if biden was blatantly a pos and said ā€œi want housing prices to keep going up!ā€ Trump legitimately does not gaf about anything except getting more money and he makes it so obvious. Biden just sucked at his job.

Literally both administrations were found to be talking to social media companies to censor certain views online and PUSH a agenda. Both administrations want to send our money elsewhere and and both administrations refuse to put AMERICANS first. You are correct people need to stop Making this a one party issue

Ofc when I say that, I mean there’s to some extent that I would try to defend someone that’s actually just ignorant and fed pure lies but I’m not going to pretend that trump supporters are also dumbasses and typically bigots

Bro doesn’t know what a cult it, and no matter hat happens with any president, people are going to be unhappy, you asked why people still support trump, it’s probably cause it’s the only thing they can do. what like you think your special enough to post something to feel satisfied about your hate but still change doesn’t happen? Ooh that’s strange, are you just going to keep hating every little thing because things don’t go your way so you hate everything? Hmm. Lazy pos, get a job

Exactly, but also this isn’t just a party issue, it’s also a people issue. People associate themselves with this or that group and I don’t know why both parties can’t just come together to actually make good change. There’s a lot more to life than politics and as soon as I say something that slightly agrees with the other party then I’m just some maga pos or I’m a democrat and it’s stupid. People need to actually gather some common sense and open their minds to everything, not just one thing.

You don’t even know what that word means moron, I don’t support trump but that is not fascism either. Fascism is something far different than what your saying it is, but since you think all these supporters are ā€œevilā€ then what’s the difference of you picking another group and thinking they’re ā€œevilā€. Why not focus on unity or peace or something other than hate lil bro?

I’m well aware of what fascism means and I’ll call it where I see it. I’d love to focus on peace and unity but you reich-wing fucks are hellbent on harming as many as possible.

American conservatives are also intensely partisan and see being conservative as a core part of their identity. They have to defend Trump cause he’s ā€œtheir sides guyā€ and cause if Trump’s wrong then they’d have to admit they fell for an obvious conman and as we saw during Covid many Trump supporters would literally rather die than do that kind of introspection and soul searching.
