This is the type of voter Im really worried about

I'm on a music board, there is this guy who is a conservative Christian.

He is not a republican or democrat.

He says, he dislikes both Biden and Trump, he's going to vote, because he feels
it's his duty.

In his posts he comes across as a reasonable guy, except for the usual "the liberal media.." posts
he does.

Hes a school teacher and writes likes hes educated.

He said because both candidates aren't that good, hes going to vote for the person who
is most likely to push thru his values as a conservative christian.

So of course Im guessing in his mind, it's trump.
Thats the voter we need to be afraid of.

Often times, they say are "libertarians", which is their code word for being a Trump supported but too embarrassed to admit for career reasons or because of where they live/work.

7. This blew my mind today. A guy this morning said he doesn't see any difference

between Trump and Biden? I don't have clue who he will vote for, one day he is against Trump the next Biden.
Today it doesn't make any difference.

9. Have you asked him to explain how they are "the same"?

I find that any comparison that goes into specifics, falls apart after a few questions and you can figure out why they are actually a Trump voter, or a nihilistic far leftist who thinks that voting Trump will "bring on the Revolution". Either one is an idiot.

lie. My bet is he has always been a Republican and that is his excuse for voting for Trump. "They all lie" so what.

12. Intentional ignorance.

After four years of chaos, that is the only possible reason. Either the guy is being intentionally ignorant or he's lying.

Or, third option, he's a Libertarian, but they're intentionally ignorant about everything.

We all know what conservative Christians want the government to do, and to whom.
