I Am Not Into Politics

But... I do wonder what it says about this site that so many of them on here seem to be Trump supporters! Or maybe, hopefully, there aren't that many they just shout louder than the rest with their constant hashing and re-hashing libelous claims and gross exaggerations of the truth...

A friend of a friend on FB, and American, said that America maybe deserves Trump. I said no one deserves him.. I guess I was thinking that even tho I can't help but agree that if America are stupid enough to vote for him they deserve all they get, I would NOT want to inflict the resulting suffering on the nice, sane, intelligent Americans that i know exist. But hey ho let's see what happens

Hi daydream ... the measured enthusiasm gap between Trump and Hillary voters is more than 25 basis points.... favoring Trump.

Don't know about this site ... the demos of this site favor Hillary ... but even where I am located, the visible on the ground Hillary support is non-existent.

No Hillary signs ... no bumper stickers.

CA and NY have a LOT of Hillary support.

Trump has given voice to the voter ... in return, the voters for Trump are jazzed.

Hillary, is an entire other commodity ... she is counting on loyalists ... and trying to reduce Trump enthusiasm ... an untried, odd political strategy. It should work for her.

It is cool to see all the Trump support ... each has a unique personal reason they favor Trump ... makes for interesting discussions!
Daydreamer ... watch 1 of the Trump events ... they are broadcast live ... they are riveting! ... not dull in the least ... crowds love this guy ... he keeps it short ... on point ... crowds echo him ... he echos the crowds ... crowds are all at or over capacity.

... tons of women!

... you might not like the people, but you have to admire the enthusiasm.

@question.. but but but.. why do they have to behave in such an illmannered way? I see predominantly Trump supporters engaging in illogic and insults and taking allegations and acting as if they are proof against the opposing candidate while when the same or similar are leveled at their candidate they again insult.. I am sure not all Trump supporters are ill-mannered or rabid.. but on here they sure do act like it..
With total respect I say.. if Trump has given a voice to the voter and all we see the voter doing with that voice is insulting and hashing and rehashing allegations ...well... that doesnt say very much about the calibre of the voter sorry to say - why do they have to behave so badly?? If i saw Hilary posting tweet allegations against trump I'd feel the same about her.. if I saw Hilary supporters on here shouting about Trump and hurling allegations I'd feel the same way.. but i am not seeing it.. that's the point..
Logically, and I suspect you won't like this, while i am a fan of enthusiasm, merely whipping into a frenzy a bunch of allegedly dangerously unintelligent people is NOT a good thing - think vigilante.. think do more harm than good.. think uncivilised.. not to be admired sorry :(
@Adaydreambeliever: Hi Dream ... being a Trump supporter, one who never uses 4 letter language ... I am subjected to it constantly ... interestingly, it does not come from Hillary fans ... it is from anti-Trump folks ... many are non-US citizens ... I agree, it does get old.

I can assure you Trump fans are ministers, welders, school teachers, draftsmen, electricians ... young and retired ... really good people.

The media in the US angers us all ... they do not play well with facts and innuendos ... as a result, Trump supporters get weary of silly conversations.

Take for example .... Headline: Trump pays no taxes! ... very misleading ... Trump has released his financials, detailed third party independent audits ... it has all the tax info ... he has paid a ton of taxes.

What does the headline refer to? ... operating losses with his real estate ... is that odd? ... of course not ... that is how real estate is handled ... operating losses while owning them ... big capital gain, when we sell the building 20 years later. Completely normal.

Then people start echoing Taxes ... nobody gets it .. that they were played by the media ... then fights start.

For many Trump folks, it is the media entirely ... but, the way we figure it ... if media told the truth ... Hillary would have nuthin to campaign on.

As to unintelligent ... I will accept that compliment.

Uncivilized? ... I will accept that differentiation too!

Unadmired? ... lol ... you are just sweet talking me!

See ... in the US, we aspire to the Life, Liberty and pursuit of happiness thing ... we generally don't seek a well-ordered society .. individualism is prized ... that is why we innovate so much!

We have no desire to be considered intellectual, civil or admired ... we like just being US!

Hillary did us all a favor when she labeled 50% of the US as deplorables ... this was way cool! ... we have identity now.

Trump has tapped into Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness ... and us deplorables are totally jazzed!

@questionWeaver: did I use the word unadmired? I wouldn't have thought it one of mine :P I listen to your words because they are sane and reasoning and as such they make a difference.. THIS is what i need.. I need to see that there are sane Trump supporters out there, lol even if they are a bit misguided :P I am especially glad to hear that, "can assure you Trump fans are ministers, welders, school teachers, draftsmen, electricians ... young and retired ... really good people."
Can you see how from my perspective, when all I see are the insulting, kinda rabid kind, one could be forgiven for thinking that is how they are? They do themselves a disservice.

LOl re the innovation.. I have heard, many a time, that many Brit inventors go to the US cos the UK won't invest in them or their ideas - perhaps a good many of your innovators are Brits :P

I've no objection to live live laugh but important to make sure that it doesnt impede other's right to do same.. and there *are* many policies which may well impede the rights of some there.. that would worry me.

If all Trump supporters were like you I wouldn't have to keep whining about Trump supporters 😇
@Adaydreambeliever: Thank you daydream .... sane is good ... yes a lot of Brits and Canadians are busy innovating things here ... I want to see more of it!

My land engineer works here, but calls Scotland home ... am fascinated by that.

Lol ... us Trump folks are all about not impinging on the rights of others ... we don't want anybody impinged on!

You have made me smile ...
