(14,552 posts)cause for this. I know 4 Trump supporters. 2 women and 2 men.
Seriously, the women are worse to reason with. 1 believes trump will fix everything. I kid you not. He is a great businessman! She has the uncanny ability to ignore his bankruptcies, p* grabbing, his flippant attitude about nukes, and all his other negatives. But believes everything about Clinton is true. I mean everything. Even shit I had never heard of. She is a beloved relative, but I had no problem setting her off. She moved from a very red state to Vermont because she is on disability and Vermont pays a lot more than red states do. I called her ass on the carpet for that shit and she went bonkers. She loves Democratic legislation, hates Democrats. She has no problem despite having gay family members, that she claims to love, to vote for republicans that have demonized gays and vow to push legislation that would undermine their very lives.
The other woman is my hairdresser. She put a pro Trump meme on FB, I asked her to explain to her daughter why she thinks someone who devalues women so much that he grabs them by the p*. She deleted my comments, I found a new hairdresser. Nope. My money is not going to indirectly going to support that shit.
The men are different. 1 My brother. He doesn't actually support Trump as I think he won't bother to vote. But he is too lazy to find out the truth. He loves fox newz because not only does he get the news, it tells him what to think about it. He is almost always short on money. Not because. as he says "taxed to death" but because he likes to live above his means.
Another is a 20 something that I have known for so long he considers me his aunt. He is open to learning, but just as he seems to get it, his friend pops in with the republican propaganda and he backslides. I give him links to legit news sources, his friend to Alex Jones type crap. The friend tells him MSM is ruining this country and only these people will tell you what is really going on.
