Why Do People Support Trump?

[thanatos144]

...Yes I am sad that morons like you just fucked up the country.

Pathetic comeback.

Oh, and, BTW, I voted for Bernie Sanders in the Illinois Primary a few weeks ago.

That doesn't make it better idiot.

 

[paulitician]

America First. He pisses off the NWO Globalists. Go Trump!

 

[independent minded]

I see here and elsewhere people who otherwise identify and conservative or Republican or both. Yet if you asked them even 9 months ago, would you support a life long Democrat who favors single payer healthcare, favors use of eminent domain for private gain, favors abortion, and has never held office they would answer a resounding NO.
And yet here they are supporting Trump, who is all those things and more. A man with professed intentions to commit war crimes, an idiot on foreign policy, a serial adulterer, a man who plays footsie with racists.
How to explain this?

People want the 12,000,000 Illegal Aliens gone.

People want the Big Corporations to be forced to bring manufacturing jobs back on-shore.

People want the US to break away from NAFTA, TPP and similar treaties which harm the Middle Class.

Attila the Hun promises these things, when nobody else (who actually stands a snowball's-chance-in-hell of pulling it off) will.do so.

People see light at the end of the tunnel, in such promises, and do not see the forks in the tunnel-road that can lead into darkness.

You can't blame people for being drawn to the light, and fresh air.

Assuming that light and fresh air actually exist at the other end of that tunnel...

If he promised a pony in every back yard, free trips to Monaco for you and your entire family, and that you’ll be able to retire by your next Birthday, could you blame people for believing those whoppers?

But that's not what he's promising...

He's promising to flush the Beaners, ban the Muzzies, and bring jobs back on-shore... all do-able... assuming that America wishes to do those things.

Yeh, right!! As if all those off-shore jobs are really coming back!

So tell me what did it feel like voting for Clinton?

America first. Trump is the man. Anyone who pisses off the NWO Globalists, is the right choice.

 

[candycorn]

...Yet here you are. Just out of curiosity…when Trump was mocking the reporter’s birth defect…were you ashamed of him?

Doesn't matter in the slightest... eight years of Liberal Agenda legal wins have driven America to this Reaction.

Enjoy.

So you're happy to vote for a "man" who makes fun of the physically disabled? Seems about right.

Can't wait until he visits soldiers at Walter Reed and begins mocking their wounds.

Especially if he starts more wars and then visits the soldiers who've been permanently maimed, blinded, and
rendered brain-damaged by war, as well as having PTSD as a result of killing as well as the possibility of being killed, to boot.

He doesn't like people who were caputred as we saw with McCain.
I betcha he will hate people who get injured.

Absolutely, I would, because important things like Single Payer with Universal healthcare/Medicare for All Americans, abortion rights, education and job training are real needs. A free pony in every back yard, free trips to Monaco for you and your whole family, and the ability to retire by one's next birthday are mainly a mirage...and mostly fantasies; they seldom, if ever, happen in real life. Lots of Americans are way too gullible for their own good.

 

[candycorn]

...Populist Reaction?...

Indeed... Populist Reaction.

...Oh, okay. Thanks for another reason to laugh at you...

Gotta love the arrogance of The Left after they've been in power for a few years... they can't even properly identify the phenomenon, never mind counter it.

...Seriously folks, liberals are "suffering" from a Populist Reaction now?...

Seriously. You don't even know what is happening, never mind why it happened. Deliciously ironic.

...We're choosing between HRC and one of her top financial backers...

Yeah? So?

...You simply are not making sense...

Yes. Liberals cannot make sense of of the present Populist Reaction on the Right, anymore than they can make sense of the Populist Revolution on the Left.

...And, btw, Drumpf's policies are pretty liberal when held up to others in the GOP race...

Doesn't matter... Trump promises to flush the Beaners, ban the Muzzies, and bring jobs back on-shore. That's all people are hearing this year.

...Those are the facts, now back to the spin.

Here's another fact... both sides of the aisle are being hit by a wave of Populism... it simply manifests in different ways on each side of the aisle.

Both sides of the aisle...

133 incumbent Federal level politicians (i.e. Congressmen) have had their name on the ballot up until a few weeks ago. The "wave" that supposedly ws going to wash out the professional pols has resulted in 0.00 of them losing their re-election primaries.

You've given me a lot of comedy tonight. When you feel like posting something serious...feel free.

 

[charwin95]

And by the way, Trump said nothing about pulling out of NATO. You people never cease to amaze me. You can't hold an intelligent conversation with anyone without attacking them personally. Any time someone has an opinion that you don't want to hear, or you disagree with it's because they're not "thinking" about your point of view. Run to your safe space hypocrite, you're far to "tolerant" for this adult to waste anymore time one. Continue to hate though, it's apparently the the quality you feel worth sharing.

"NATO is obsolete". Quote from Drumpf. So he wants us to continue to be part of something that is "obsolete"?

Turkey needs to be kicked out of NATO. Other than that it just needs to be streamlined so that it's actually filled with like minded allies.

NATO will NEVER give up Turkey. It's a very important ally in the event of war.

How to explain this?

One of the most interesting political questions of our time, seriously.

He has somehow tapped into a vein that makes people forget/forgive all the things you mention, not mention his (pick a few adjectives here) behavior, and focus on what appears to be three things: The border, America First and his obnoxious personality.

And a year ago, many of these same people would have told you that they firmly and unequivocally support "conservative values", period.

Personally, I think it's pretty clear that about half the party has been whipped into a hysterical frenzy - first by talk radio and then, on top of that, by conservative online media.

Many books will be written about this time.
.

Trump understands the media better than any other candidate, and has used that to his advantage. He has also listened to BT Barnum who wrote that no one ever went broke underestimating the stupidity of the American people.

This is one of the key components to why he is so successful. His information control and propaganda machine are something we haven't seen in this country since the 1950's most likely. You literally see him and his supporters disregard highly legitimate, reputable sources that disagree with his stances or opinions because...they disagree with his stances and opinions. That is radical.

Oddly enough, a lot of people also seem to support him because he claims that he can't be bought by big business like other politicians are. The odd thing is...Trump IS BIG BUSINESS. He's highly successful, has a lot of links to people in the business world, and has shown repeatedly, in the past, to try and use people in a political position to get policies pushed that favor him and his business allies. Why would he change now?

In short, most Trump supporters are idiots.

Trump can't be bought because Trump does the buying asshole!
Yes Trump is highly successful. I'll take that over a fucking criminal like Hillary or 'The First AA Golfer In Chief' pussy Communist all day.

 

[CowboyTed]

People who love the country support Trump. I support him mostly because he is the only candidate who isnt bought and paid for. I also support him because almost every politician of both parties who have run up a 20 trillion debt and gotten thousands of american soldiers butchered and maimed for nothing hate him. I support him because he stands strong after more than a billion dollars has been spent against him and 55,000 negative ads run against him.

That is absolutely not an answer or explanation.
Bernie Sanders is not bought and paid for either. In fact his supporters tout that as the reason they support him.

Good for them. I also agree with bernie that its time big money is expunged from politics. I once supported the citizens united decision but i now see it as the billionaires control of politics decision.

I also support Trump because he helps so many people and because illegal trash wave the mexican flag and break laws and beat up people.

Trump's SC picks do not want to get rid of Citizens United...

Turkey doesn't side with us vs our enemies. Turkey supports our enemies and attacks our friends the Kurds.

How to explain this?

Well, first of all if you're in such a position that eminent domain, abortion, and single payer healthcare are topping your priority list, congratulations. You're doing far better than 95% of Americans. The majority of Americans are far more concerned about illegal immigration, the porous border, jobs, and Isis. Having said that, let me start off by saying that I think the majority of Americans are neither strictly Democratic or Republican. We vote for whichever candidate best aligns with our core value systems. When forced to align with a particular party we pick the party who more closely represents our views as a general rule.
On to your objections and allegations regarding Donald Trump. You brought up war crimes, I assume you're referring to waterboarding and Obamas ban on it. First of all his ban is hardly credible and he only placed it to further coddle the terrorist organizations he REPEATEDLY aligns himself with at the expense of American soldiers, American citizens, and American lives. He frequently plays host to the Muslim Brotherhood who is without a doubt tied to terrorist organizations. It's been proven by the FBI. He's releasing terrorist from GITMO as we speak who have American blood on their hands. His ban on waterboarding had NOTHING to do with human rights. According to Obama human rights only apply to the Islamic community as is the belief of all Muslims. If it's fine with you that American citizens loose their lives so that poor Ahkmed doesn't feel discomfort then you're in a very small minority of people. I don't care that a couple of Obamas yes men have said that it doesn't work as a PR stunt to sell it to the liberals. It's been used for centuries. It does work, it has saved lives and it won't stay banned. So you needn't concern yourself with an American POTUS committing war crimes. Though I find it odd that you're unconcerned with the intentional disregard of genocide being committed against the Coptic Christians in Syria and other places in the Middle East by the current Administration. Or like Obama are you only concerned with the "human rights" of the Islamic community?
I am unsure what you dislike about Trumps foreign policy because you gave no specifics you simply called him an idiot. I tend to agree that NATO should be restructured and geared toward the new threats our Nation faces which is terrorism. I also agree that Russia can be a respected adversary, we needn't constantly be on to verge of war with them. "Keep your friends close, your enemies closer" makes perfect sense to me. I also agree that America has been footing the bill on trade deals with ALL Nations for far to long, we no longer have the money to eat losses on EVERY single deal we make. It's absurd. And I also feel that American interests far outweigh any International interests. Every other Nation on the planet takes care of itself FIRST, but America shouldn't? That's ridiculous.
Lastly, American culture is worth preserving. We do NOT owe anyone anything. For far to long America has allowed people to come to this Country and bent over backwards to accommodate them, at the expense of our culture and our way of life. No more. Coming to and becoming American is a PRIVILEGE not a RIGHT. It's time that it be treated as such again. Which leads to the border. It's ludicrous for people to say it's racist to protect our borders LIKE EVERY OTHER NATION including Mexico to the south. Our sovereignty and the safety of our people comes before anyone's "feelings". However the waving of Mexican flags while screaming at Americans to "get out" of their own Country certainly makes me want to roll out the welcome mat. It matters little though because the bottom line is that Americans need jobs, and we should have first pick. If immigration is harmful to America, which at this point it is, it should stop. And I could go on and on but I need to ask, "If not America first" then who? Donald Trump isn't racist, you're confusing him for Hillary and her KKK contributing friend. He's NEVER said one thing that's racist

Wow, some people have verbal diarrhea.

If you didn't want the answer, why ask the question?

He was hoping you’d put some thought behind it. For example, you may not know this but there is a submarine base in the Pacific. It’s pretty much in the middle of nowhere. NATO keeps it afloat. So when you pull out of NATO, our subsurface sailors will now have to go (days without replenishment of just basic stuff like fresh fruit and the like). That is during peace time. If hostility should break out, the wait becomes longer and they have to stretch their supplies even further including possibly compromising their positions.

It seems as though Trump supporters walk around in this mist thinking that the US gets no benefit from any of these agreements.

It’s a special brand of ignorance you should be ashamed of.

Its seems stupid little girls have Hillary Obama warship.

Like I said... people have stopped listening to Liberals... you brought this on yourselves... enjoy.

Your response makes zero sense. LIberals have caused Donald Trump to make fun of handicapped people and turned otherwise sensible folks into cheering such disgusting antics? Hardly.

Sure it does... to anybody not playing the part of a Drama Queen, anyway...
