(3,447 posts)That's my entire family save me and two others, plus a smattering that I know from churches I've attended in my youth. I know it's cute to pretend Republicans are all racist, but that's one of the dumbest memes posted here constantly.
Furthermore, some of them have been talking about him for at least 2 years. Only one looked into Trump (that they've told me), but didn't feel he was an authentic candidate (which I agree with...for the moment).
Personally, if I were still republican and believed voting helps (it doesn't...not that I don't still vote anyway), I'd vote Trump. Why? Because he's dumb enough to make people really start to think "Hey, maybe I should pay a little attention to this small number of people who have stolen my future, my past, my present, and are looking at stealing the same from my children and everyone else on the face of the planet".
Until then, people will still believe that this world is going to get somewhere with a monetary system that's 6,000 years old now. We don't wear clothes from six years ago, we don't often discuss history from six decades ago, we can't even NAME who was related to us six generations ago...but money? Yeah, that has to stay the same for another 6,000 years. After all, about 100 families have 99.99 percent of it. I'm sure they're looking forward to 'sharing' it after a few hundred years. Had a change of heart, they have!
