Supporters of Donald Trump have to ask themselves just how much do they agree with him?
Are they OK with his lies and deception? Are they OK with him hiding where his money comes from? Are they OK with his refusal to make public his financial or tax records? Are they OK with his greed?
Are they OK with his racist comments and his efforts to divide this country? Are they OK with the name-calling and the disregard for the rule of law?
Are they OK with his stupid and ignorant tweets that sometimes threaten our national security?
Are they OK with him hugging the American flag, yet nobody from his family, from his grandfather forward, has ever served in the US military?
Are they OK with him loving up to the dictators but stabbing our allies in the back?
Do they truly believe that character doesn't matter? Do they believe that Trump is a man of good character? Do they want their children to be like Donald Trump?
Do they support tearing apart the institutions and the fabric of this nation? Do they believe that a "good economy" trumps all, to borrow a pun?
How much are they willing to surrender to prove to themselves they are not fools and puppets for a wannabe dictator?
How much character do these people have?

(666 posts)I believe you misunderstand Trump supporters.
This is what they believe (NOT me, please)
Are they OK with his lies and deception?
They do not think he lies and they do not think he is deceitful, only liberals and the lying media claim that.
Are they OK with him hiding where his money comes from?
What are you talking about? He's a real estate tycoon.
Are they OK with his refusal to make public his financial or tax records?
Yes, what business it of yours how much money he makes or has?
Are they OK with his greed?
You call it greed, they call it success.
Are they OK with his racist comments and his efforts to divide this country?
YES YES absolutely YES and the country was already divided, you divided it and gave half of our country to "those people".
Are they OK with the name-calling and the disregard for the rule of law?
The name-calling is accurate (you *are* a snowflake) and the laws are stupid.
Are they OK with his stupid and ignorant tweets that sometimes threaten our national security
His tweets are not stupid, they are not ignorant and he does not threaten national security. In fact, he's the strongest president we've ever had!
Are they OK with him hugging the American flag, yet nobody from his family, from his grandfather forward, has ever served in the US military?
What's wrong with hugging the flag? And right after that you question his loyalty?
Are they OK with him loving up to the dictators but stabbing our allies in the back?
He can stand up to anybody and is not afraid. Our "allies" only want our money and want us to protect them, otherwise they have no use for us.
Do they truly believe that character doesn't matter?
Of course it matters, that's why they voted for him.
Do they believe that Trump is a man of good character?
Yes, of course, honest, strong and true.
Do they support tearing apart the institutions and the fabric of this nation?
Yes. These "institutions" and "fabric" have never done anything for them, in fact, they prevent them from having good lives. Tear 'em down and throw them away.
Do they believe that a "good economy" trumps all, to borrow a pun?
What do you mean trumps all? A good economy *in addition to* all of the other good things. Are you complaining about the good economy?
How much are they willing to surrender to prove to themselves they are not fools and puppets for a wannabe dictator?
They are surrendering nothing. He is giving them back their pride, their feeling of place, and their feeling that they have power over their own lives again. Wanna be dictator? You're just jealous because the Democrats have no spine!
How much character do these people have?
They think they are the salt of the earth, the core of America, the minuteman patriots the brave pioneers, the farmers and workers who built this country. They have plenty of character.
So, what to do with people who believe this, honestly believe it.

I'm sure your responses are pretty close to what most Trumpsters believe. To talk about "character"
with these people is a waste of breath.

(666 posts)None of it matches reality. That's a real problem, eh.
