I just don't understand how any person could vote for him more than once. It wasn't a secret that he is totally incompetent, spiteful and extremely stupid after just a couple days of him being in charge the first time. His first term was a clown show where he continuously fired his staff. If you somehow think he's going too far only now, then frankly it says a lot about you and your lack of sense, empathy and political literacy.
His values have constantly shown that he is sexist, racist, greedy, slovenly and generally hateful. If you have voted for him three times, frankly, you probably are those things as well.
I kind of wish I would have voted for him once. I've had 3 chances...
Why?
I'm kinda curious as to what it must have felt like. I suppose the phrase would be "morbid curiosity".
Also I kind of wish I would have voted the second time and that he would have won the first second time. So we would have only had 8 years of Trump instead of the +12 we are going to get.
It would feel like approving white nationalism.
uuuggghhhh You can't help yourself can you?
Why would I want to gloss over white nationalism?
Because it wasn't brought up and it in no way was insinuated. You that isn't what was being said.
It was brought up, by you, because you said you wanted to vote for him.
I didn't say anything about white nationalism. You did. All I said is I have a curiosity as to what it might have felt like.
And I don't think it would have felt like that.
You said you wanted to know what voting for a fascist felt like, so I told you what it would be like. The neat part is, regardless how you think it may feel, that is the outcome
Wait - did you vote for him? Do you know what it felt like?
Or are you just grafting your position into it?
No, i didn't. Im not grafting my position into it. He has a track record to go off of. Its on you if you choose to ignore that

Because I am not a Democrat, nor a leftist in any way. I do not stand for their ridiculous shit the same way I do not stand for what Trump is now doing. Believe it or not, people can have different views from you. The fact you don't understand that says a lot more about your intelligence than my own. Relax, bud.
I honestly wonder in what way you think the Democrats are worse than the Republicans. Even before Trump turned the Republicans into a clown show, it was the party of greed, selfishness and corruption. Bush lied to start a war with Iraq. Reagan destroyed the middle-class because rich people needed to get richer. They've supported wars for oil, lies about the environment, sinking people deeper into debt.
I completely agree that the Democrats are not always great, but at their worst, they're almost as bad as the Republicans. Never worse. Everything bad they've done, the Republicans have done worse.
Remember everyone. He doesn't believe in everyone having affordable access to healthcare. He doesn't believe in free or subsidized education. He doesn't believe in fair wages. He doesn't believe in affordable housing for all. He doesn't believe in human rights.
That's all "ridiculous shit". You're a loser dude.
Genuinely curious what the ridiculous shit is in your eyes. I generally see most people want the same end goals (better lives for all/most) and the nuances are just in the execution.
Pretty much everything now. I am NOT a fan of Israel, first off. Not to mention he didn't follow through with any of the things he started. I personally do not like this country being absolutely flooded with illegal immigrants and all of our jobs being swooped up by underpaid H1Bs, etc. My area with the largest industrial park in the whole country is a total nightmare now. I don't really care if you feel a moral obligation to think the opposite, so don't bother. I will be avoiding this sub now. It's just as violently retarded as Reddit's r/politics. Got it blocked now. See ya!
And it is this sentiment that will keep you voting for shysters and con-men and voting against your own best interest.
Took a while, but we finally found why they voted for trump 3 times. Racism.
The shit he started was stupid, racist, and generally abhorrent
That says a lot about you
Yeah - shit libs make everything shitty.
Their "everything is a nail because I have a hammer" approach to everything stops all conversation.
