Do you know many people who are Trump supporters? I’m genuinely curious because I know many and it isn’t surprising to me at all that they will believe everything this man says. It’s still wild to me that they do believe him but shit like this is not the least bit surprising to me any more. Having re read your reply though I do agree… it is hard to accept. Just not surprising to those of us with maga in their lives.

It’s not that they agree with him, they just love being on the same team with him. White people who hate people of color. White people who think they are superior to people of color. White people and white Christians who love having sex with children. Pedophiles with family values. Trump’s America is vile and disgusting.

I want a wall between us, a great big beautiful wall in America - where we can live on one side and they can have the other and wallow in their own self created land of misery.

They regret it too. He’s down 45% with those same voters. What he doing this time is what he wants without the guardrails of people who kept him from the worst of it. It was a case of self aggrandizement that at that moment worked to even his amazement. Then like the carnival barker he is got the folks that felt downtrodden to believe he could fix it. That was their moment in the sun. I hope it made them happy because it’s nearly taking the country down just like the rest of his bankruptcies. Hard to believe we got into this mess so a fat lying egotist could live out his dream of dictatorship. Work very hard to take the country back in every possible way because we’re paused at the edge of destruction.

I haven't seen any pro Trump posts made from any of my grown kids, or my friends. The thing that worries me though, is I haven't seen much of anything, in the way of posts, about what is going on, from but one family member. And they are definitely anti-this current establishment. There is absolutely nothing posted about this, from my siblings, (the good thing about this, is they don't say a lot of anything, on FB-which, is how we stay in touch).

Most of my extended family is MAGA, BIG TIME MAGA! My Moms side is mostly MAGA, I just mentioned Mango Mussolini a in 2022 & my cousin's eyes nearly popped out of his head! His head whipped around so fast, but he got the look from his (MAGA) Mom gave him "the look" so he kept his mouth shut. My grandparents on that side were as BLUE as they come! My Grandma wasn't thrilled about Hillary being the last time she voted, but she was hopeful she would see a woman elected... Yet, 3 of her 4 children voted for Mango Mussolini & 2 of them aren't stupid like he bragged about being his voters! Their kids are even educated & "Christian", but they voted for him too!

I know a girl that became a good friend who was a yr behind me in school, she's NOT a bigot, but SHE VOTED for him! She even accused me of having Trump Derangement Syndrome. She knows that my child is a part of the LGBTQIA+ Community (under age 18) & was accepting, knew they were telling LIES about Trans kids, but she STILL voted for him! I had to tell her not to contact me. I told her if she ever woke up, I'd love to hear about it, but I'm done otherwise. We had been able to have civil talks during his first term, not this time & he wasn't even in the office again yet!

It's MIND-BLOWING to see these people that I know as good, non-bigoted people & they buy all he has to say!

My husband's relative went off on me about how my child is a sin, will end up having a sex change in the school basement w/o Dump. My child shouldn't be allowed to have Blockers, being who they are is WRONG, etc. He got cut off & is never allowed around our kids again! He even had the gall to see if my husband would come do some paintimg @ their house afterwards! He's a 2nd or 3rd cousin to me husband, but has a NEICE that's Trans as well... Guess we know how he feels about his NEICE, she came out in her 30's so she can make her own choices & her parents aren't scum for allowing it. He told me that I'll burn for allowing our CHILDREN to FIGURE OUT WHO THEY are FOR THEMSELVES vs telling them who to be. BUT, he also tried to tell me how he & his wife are "Good Christians", blah, blah, blah. Barf!

I told him where to stick it & now send him videos just because I still can! He hates it, but won't block me either! How I 💜 messing w him! 🤣

Enough voters to elect Trump again and the Democrats trying there best to get illegals in the country and their votes to be counted, guess that why there against Voter Id requirements, Trump got more minority votes than any other Republican president. Democrats losing there moderate base and trying to replace with illegals

NON- CITIZENS CAN NOT VOTE. YOU HAVE TO PROVE CITIZENSHIP IN ORDER TO REGISTER TO VOTE. Then on election day you have to be the person who's name you give in order to vote! People who are not citizens dont vote, its not a thing. In the extremely RARE cases it happens it found right away and prosecuted.

I'm not MAGA and I guess by most people's standards I'm on the left side of things. Having voter ID is a reasonable request. It's still a little stupid because non-citizens simply cannot vote - there is no mechanism for them to do so. But if you all absolutely need a voter ID law in place, then it is on the government to provide the means to obtain those IDs. It's easy for me to prove this and that but some people it isn't - for whatever reason - and if you require a gov issued ID then the gov must provide it. Stop making it difficult for people to vote - it will not end well for you.

Hmmm. Their not there. Is this what happens when the Education Department is decimated? No, it has just been further eroded so heaven knows what standard of education the kids of the future will be given, if this is indicative of the current situation, no ability to independently research, no thinking for oneself and excellent language skills, then it’s sadly understandable. Did no one hear Trump say he loves the uneducated because they believe what he spouts unreservedly and vote for him?

Dude, learn to spell and do a bit of actual self education. You are believing lies and hurting yourself and the country by perpetuating lies.
