In reply to the discussion: How sad it must be for Trump supporters [View all]napi21
(45,806 posts)My oldest son is one of the orange man's supporters. He will admit he's done some wrong things, but wears the majority of what he's done was the right things for the Country. We both agreed never to get into a political fight, but once in a while we have a discussion. He firmly believes that all the Dem. Presidents since he's been alive have been crooks! Of course the Pubs weren't (Ha Ha) He's really a repug supporter.. Some people have told me it's because he was in the military for 15 years, and although he's not right now, he's working as the site manager for our aircraft base in Afghanistan, To me, that's still quasi military. I have no other explanation for his beliefs, so maybe that's it, but he's a very smart, rational man in all other parts of his life. He looks at the decisions made by Dems that reduce the military budget as harmful to the military and his buddies. He hated Clinton for reducing the military budget and will not recognize that many people asked for that decrease as "the peace dividend". However he was told to do a job, which was always aircraft repairs, and he couldn't because they wouldn't give him the $$ to buy the parts he needed to do that job.
Feel sorry for those people because they've been brainwashed and don't even know it.
