In reply to the discussion: Many Trump voters are NOT a lost cause... [View all]Are_grits_groceries
(17,111 posts)164. You DO NOT know the people I am talking about.
It has come down to us vs them. It is racists & bigots vs open-minded people. I REFUSE to listen to that bullshit or their rationalizing racist behaviors. I will not give them one inch on this.
I don't care if they like the ACA, unions and whatever. If they are racists, that is it.
I have seen what harm that stance does all my life.
Don't ever explain to me again about what I need to do. As I said, I have dealt with these people for decades and seen them in action. More have become open about it.
If they have a true conversion, good for them.

It's a two way street. Are they making any real effort to learn about their fellow man?

Trumps' was nothing more than successful commercial branding for the lowest common denominators.
