    Remember, girls: any male friend you know that votes for Trump probably sees you as a piece of meat and wants to own you like property.

        My mom a brown person liked trump last election whilst my father who follows politics hated him. Some people just don’t know and that’s a problem. My mom now hates him.

          There’s some growth. I have a friend who I almost lost after he voted for Trump the first time. His excuse was the whole propaganda drain the swamp, and businessman running the country thing. He hates Trump now too and has since gone more toward the middle and Def stopped being and voting for reds. Baby steps.

            See, I never got the whole businessman thing. Like, Trump’s claim to fame in that area was that he’d driven his businesses to bankruptcy like 5 different times and had to get bailed out? And you want this man to be in charge?

              Yea anyone with half a brain would realize it but people just saw he was rich and said he’s a businessman and never bothered to check.

              It’s actually why people always call me smart, I don’t think I’m particularly smart but I always ask why and always take an extra step to check things out where most people would just take things at face value.

                Honestly I think he won because he said he was going to not be a politician. People hate politicians and were happy to put someone in who was naive to all of it and who said he would fix all the corruption.

                And then he went on to be a horrible human being on a day to day basis, usually via Twitter, was more corrupt than nearly anyone before him, and the only swamp he drained regularly was his own staff who he threw under the bus constantly.

                I think he will lose this time because he already showed he won’t do any of that. He hasnt even mentioned it this time has he.

                  Well, this is just anecdotal, but my family members all voted for him because we had a hard R in the Whitehouse for 8 years and they were pissed about that.

                    Took me way too long to figure out ehat you meant there with the hard r, and thats wild. Unfortunately, and I dont mean this directly for your family, but I have a strong feeling racism has to just die off. I’m not convinced its possible to fix someone’s ideas about that after say 30 years of it or whatever.

                    I have to ask though, do they just hate all Democrats, and being black was the easiest thing to target? Or maybe they see the party as intertwined with minorities.

          I can 100% forgive people who voted for him the first time around but later realized that was a mistake.

            If you never watched his show, heard about the lawsuits against him, knew anyone he stifted on payments, heard him interviewed on Howard Stern or heard him speaking at rallies, sure.

        Ypur the fucking problem here. Going to extremes and shouting at teacher aboyt how you hate each other is exactly what both sides want. They want you distracted with your petty little issues while they consolidate your wealth in their pockets.

        You used to be the laughibg stock of the western world and it seems that all Americans regardless of political outlook have no intention of changing that.

      Don’t date conservatives, don’t sleep with them, don’t befriend them, don’t associate with them, being MAGA should result in your total ostracization. Unless you’re in a situation where you have to, where cutting ties or ending the relationship/friendship will make you unsafe or put your livelihood or your home life at risk, you should cut them off. I cut ties with a lot of old friends who became conservatives. It’s not a normal tolerable thing to be conservative. No one who believes the things they do should be tolerated. Their beliefs should, at the least, come at the cost of their relationships and friendships.

      Conservatives do not respect human rights and human dignity. They do not believe that men and women are equal, that rich and poor are equal, or that black people and white people are equal. They’ll make a facade of tolerant behavior that immediately crumbles under any scrutiny to show their bigotry. These bigots have governed every conceivable aspect of our lives for far too long.

            We’re just ignoring his calls for Israel to “finish them off,” and when he said he would give them all the weapons he had?

        Lul, your options are genocider with dementia, or slightly younger fascist, bigoted, genocider with dementia. Go read a book.

            Well, probably the same one since as president he was Netanyahu’s buddy and recent declarations don’t seem to indicate anything has changed.

              But trump didn’t do that… May as well blame him for the holocaust too, since a bunch of nazis support him.

                The difference is the Holocaust happened a long time ago, and Trump wasn’t even alive at the time.

                The whole Gaza genocide escalated after his four years of presidency which have seen him support Netanyahu (and vice versa).

                  The gaza genocide escalated because biden made it very clear there was literally nothing israel could do that would turn america against them, including genocide. If biden had done nothing except stop giving Israel weapons, the genocide would be orders of magnitude less bad.

                    No one is saying Biden isn’t responsible for the genocide. The thing is, issues were already clear during the Trump mandate and he didn’t do anything to stop them either. I’m convinced if this was Trump’s second term, the situation would be much worse (aka, in his words, they would’ve already “finished the job”).
