Final thoughts (conservatives, don't waste your time)

If you’re a woman, you can’t honestly back Trump.
He’s shown 40 years of bad, boorish and possibly criminal behavior toward women, including objectifying his own daughter and boasting about being able to grab young women anywhere and anytime he wants.

If you’re a Christian, you can’t honestly back Trump.
He’s guilty of the seven deadly sins, he fails to hold sacred marriage. He champions those with money and promotes greed, bias and alienation. The teachings of the gospels warn again every one of the things in which he engages. Jesus embraced the alienated, the poor, the sick, the marginalized.

If you’re LBGTQ+, you can’t honestly back Trump.
He has, at every turn, worked and even sued the government to roll back same-sex rights. He continues to marginalize them and has even forbidden international US embassies from acknowledging Pride Month.

If you’re middle class, you can’t honestly back Trump.
What economic gains and momentum he inherited he has only monitored and not affected. He’s crippled farmers, posted the worst 3rd quarter in US history and refused to budge on the minimum wage, which right now sets a person only precariously above poverty level.

If you use health care, you can’t honestly back Trump.
While talking out one side of his mouth, he’s suing the federal government to erase pre-existing conditions and wants to abolish the ACA with no replacement plan in the wings.

If you love the environment, you can’t honestly back Trump.
He has rolled back dozens of environmental regulations, opened pristine and protected land to business and advocates a dying and deadly industry with no vision for the future.

If you believe in science, you can’t honestly back Trump.
This should be clear. He believes his instinct over science and refuses to listen to the medical community. Because he’s a stable genius.

If you’re a minority at all, you can’t honestly back Trump.
His bias, hateful speech and support of right-wing extremist groups is well known. He has been racist for the last 40 years and has a record to prove it. He is a nationalist, a xenophobe and a fascist.

If you are a self-respecting human being, you can’t honestly back Trump.
Mocking instead of listening, crowing instead of seeking advice, changing his reality by talking over it, using divisive speech, supporting divisive behavior and displaying the worst a human being has to offer. Again and again and again.

If you back him because you truly believe in hateful, hypocritical, greed-centered fascism, feel free to shout his name from the rooftops. But know that you are him. Know that history will remember your name.

Unfortunately, backing him and voting for him aren't the same for some people.

At this point, I can only conclude that a great majority of people who support him feel so horribly disenfranchised by the system that they are voting for Bunker Boy to see the totality of the United States government to be burned to the ground.

There is some wildly naive belief that burning down the current system will pave the way for it to be replaced by something magically different and better.

Right now, the US government is like the Hydra: cut off one head and two grow to replace it.

This is the position of the hard core Trump voters who used to be Tea Party, assisted by the hard core Bernie Bros.

@LvChris unless the unwashed masses are brainwashed to behave in ways that are against their self-interest
