They're just supporting Trump because he espouses their way of life,
which is pretty much grabbing P while cheating and lying until they're dead.
These people support everything he does 100%, no matter what.
You can't get through to them and they're never going to change.
Truly I wish what you stated wasn't true of MOST trump-supporters here,
but it appears to be an unfortunate FACT.
Look up "political bigotry" in Google. I call the same thing "blind partisanship"
Either term means people are stubborn. VERY stubborn, and unwilling to
accept ideas other than their own preconceptions and views.
Even the term "Conservative" in the dictionary says "averse to change"
whereas the term "Liberal" says "willing to respect or accept behavior or
opinions different from one's own"
It's perfectly fine to disagree on various topics, respectfully.
But refusal just to accept facts, common sense, logic, and/or reality,
coupled with bigotry (political and other), excessive hyperbole and
unsubstantiated claims to truth - while common to all political strata -
seems decidedly more pervasive among trump-supporters everywhere,
not just here.
There are a few here who are so stubborn, so entrenched in wearing their
right-wing partisan blinders, that I see no point in responding to, as you
are recommending. I mean when they won't even acknowledge facts....
I basically put myself through university umpiring baseball/fastball and
refereeing hoops. Frequently a pitch would narrowly miss the batter's nose,
or the catcher had to trap it in the dirt 5" off the plate - I would rightly yell
"BALL!" - and the pitcher's dugout would erupt in anger, shouting vulgarities,
and accusing me of "unbelievable bias" because they said that pitch was
"straight down the middle of the plate - waist high!"
Some people only see what they *WANT* to see ...
Now watch!...I've prepared a logical reply to a trump-supporter
in the "Shocking" thread....Let's see what happens....
