How do Trump supporters feel about Tim McVeigh?

No doubt McVeigh would have been a Trump supporter. And since it seems most Trump supporters and republicans sympathize with the Jan 6th insurrectionists, how do they feel now about McVeigh?

Nice question, but my guess is they won't know him or will treat him as as "leftist" or Marxist, much like Hitler or Mussolini and continue to call Biden a fascist because Hannity tells them to and they didn't listen much in elementary school, or maybe they rebelled against indocrination later.

@MistyCee It's funny, because the GOP today is using pretty much identical language McVeigh used in his "manifesto" against government overreach.
@trollslayer they ran Trump to destroy Western civilization in 2016, couldn't accomplish it, and are now reviving The basic idea of making America great by returning it to some sort of pre civilized status.
@MistyCee pre world bank days...?
@checkoutanytime Pre 10 commandments at least. That stuff about bearing false witness is obviously liberal socialist bs.

Democrats oppose capitalism, God-honoring Christianity, conservatism, infant rights, morality, patriotism, American history, and so forth. Trump was elected by tens of millions of Americans to save America from hostile anti-American democrats.

Or maybe Trump was elected by tens of millions of Americans who bought his bill of goods emphasized above?

Just out of curiosity, how do you think Democrats or Republicans define morality?

Sadly, democrat voters tend to adopt the views and values of democrat leaders. Trump supporters did not adopt Trump's ideas, they dictated Trump's policies to him.

Morality is conduct that supports happy and healthy relationships in a society without hurting others by selfish behaviors.

That one really surprised me. Nothing about right and wrong and a focus on society and non-selfishness?


That seems to be to be not only pretty "liberal" of a definition, but dangerously close to socialism according to some SWeeps (that I've disagreed with).

So you think Trump supporters are using Trump, as opposed to being used by him?

I don't agree with your view. I said morality supports happy and healthy relationships and does no harm to others through selfishness. I don't understand your negative response to my definition. Morality does not negatively impact capitalism.

Trump, unlike Hillary, ran on views and values most widely shared by most Americans. He came on the scene looking for positions to support that could get him elected. He did not come on the scene spouting views that tens of millions of Americans blindly accepted just because he was Trump. That notion is ridiculous.
@marke We're likely going to end up disagreeing on what Trump ran on, but before we go there, I'm not at all giving a negative response to your definition of morality. I didn't expect non selfishness and the value of society or not causing harm to others to come up at all. I'm surprised, but actually kind of pleased with that one.

I'm really intrigued though, by your idea of "Trump coming on the scene looking for positions to support that could get him elected.". That too, is something I sort of agree with.
