POV of a Quiet Trump Supporter

I'm a moderate who agrees with perspectives from both the left and the right. I have friends who are Liberal and friends who are Republican. If someone has a different perspective than me, I never get upset with them. I listen to their point of view and always respect their individual opinion. I've always enjoyed politics and listening to different podcasts and shows. When I was 18-19, I voted for Trump. I was open about it and got a lot of hate in the blue state I'm in. When the next election came around, I was exhausted from hearing everyone's opinion on Trump. I didn't like Biden as an option, and I was focused on surviving in my own life. So, I decided not to vote.

I'm 26 years old now. I understand Trump is far from perfect. I've heard all the same cons about him millions of times from people who spew the same brainwashed monologue. Most of these people aren't really in tune with politics or world events. I just agree with them to keep the peace since I never bring up the conversation of politics around them 99% of the time.

My real point of view: I like Trump. Most politicians and celebrities have narcissism. Guess what? I don't care. He is very patriotic and I genuinely believe he wants to see this country succeed. People who compare him to Hitler are sick in the head and have no concept of history. My grandfather was a German-Jewish Holocaust survivor, and my family still remarks that he would have loved Trump. I believe in liberty or death. I agree with people disagreeing with me. I love respectful debates. I love the First Amendment and the right to bear arms. I love seeing legal immigrants come here and change their lives for their families and themselves. I love seeing a mix of nationalities in my beautiful city. Seeing the assassination attempt on Trump and his response to stand up and address the crowd made me realize he is a real American, like the leaders I read about in history books. I love America. Yes, I support Trump even if he is far from perfect. He represents the grittiness and unwavering strength of this country. If you disagree, guess what? That's your right.

Respecting everyone's opinion is an admirable ideology in a utopia or the world we knew 20 years ago. But in the current political landscape, that's like comforting an abuse victim while encouraging the abuser. You can say you respect people on the left all you like, but if you vote to withdraw the right of many of them to even exist, the words of respect are empty.

@NerdyPotato People do this mainly to come across as a decent person. They know they're voting for someone who is not that good of a person but don't want to feel bad about themselves so they things like "I'm not racist but" "I respect LGBT but" etc.

@BohemianBabe exactly! The "choice" in the USA is no longer about politics, but about morals.

@MrSmooTh Honestly if you hear your own words, there's every reason to believe that people would persecute LGBT people if they felt like it. Gender and biological sex is not the same thing, for the fact that others can't understand simple biology makes it hard to believe that you wouldn't persecute LGBT people if given a chance.

@MrSmooTh two genders/sexes is the middle school simplification of biology, just like chemistry there teaches you that mass and energy can't be created it disappear. But then advanced biology and quantum physics comes into play and it turns out there's more than the 90% you've learned about during your basic course.

You already justified getting rid of transgender people based on not understanding biology beyond the very basics. Why should we take your word for it that the heritage foundation will skip the other 90% of their mandate after completing that first step?
