coltssb Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 As a Canadian watching from the outside, curious to know how Trump supporters are feeling about recent events. Still feel as strongly as you did when you voted him in? I will tell you the answer very quickly. It’s exactly as Trump said, “he could walk down 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and his people would still love him.” Something to that effect. All you need to know.... The country is divided straight down party lines with neither side caring for what the other has to say and neither party trusting the other. A sad day in US political times IMO. No change on Trump supporters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ELDER06 Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 I never liked him as a person, but I can’t stand the Democratic Party as is. I may vote for Biden since he’s more moderate, but any other Dem is a no go. I work hard for my $ and I want to keep it. I’m not having 5% of my pay go to free college just some little s**thead can major in Gender Studies for free. So, it’s very likely I’ll vote for Trump again. If anyone followed last week’s elections in the UK, it proves how out of touch the Left is with normal society. We don’t want socialism or laws dictated by identity politics.

Kelly Gruene Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 It's really an interesting time. When I go to a Dallas Cowboys football game, the stadium is packed with people of all colors, nationalities, creeds, and languages. All of the people are cheering for the team. They're not cheering for the white guys on the team or the black guys on the team or the Latino guys on the team. Just the team. That's what America really is to me. We just have so much social media and mainstream media focusing on the differences between people rather than the commonalities between people. I hate what I perceive media of all stripes has done to this country in the interest of getting clicks and advertisers. Create stories on the extremes, rather than write about interests the majority. That's politics and that's the media in the USA today. And while people on either side of the political spectrum may interpret this post in their own way, rest assured that I am not sitting far to one side or the other of the political fence.

NDhoosier Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 (edited) We are in the middle of a social civil war Very accurate. Regardless of how good of a person Trump is, this impeachment is ridiculous. It is completely partisan and the trial in the House was completely unfair and they proved absolutely nothing. The forefathers and Presidents that have followed stated they never wanted a partisan impeachment. Even the democrats said that early on, but they went through it anyway. Now Pelosi is going to hold the articles because she knows it will fail in the Senate. I hate Pelosi (D) in the House, I hate McConnell ® in the Senate, and I hate Schiff (D) and Nadler (D) throughout the "trials" in the House. Anyone who understands probable cause and as ever sworn out a warrant before knows there is not enough PC for a warrant on these accusations if it was a normal civilian. This will hurt the Democratic party next year I think. I dislike Trump, but this charade the House put on was an embarrassment to the country.

NDNorm Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 (edited) As a Canadian watching from the outside, curious to know how Trump supporters are feeling about recent events. Still feel as strongly as you did when you voted him in? From where I am in Ohio (where there are a lot of his fans/supporters), nothing has changed. There are some people I know who are staunch Republicans that have never liked him since the primary debates, but most continue to rally behind him no matter what. I work with a lot of his fans, and I honestly don't think there's anything he could do/say that can change that because of the "us against the haters" feeling. (I'm not making any judgements BTW...I'm a down the middle guy.....so I'm just telling you what I observe.)

DamshaBua Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 I registered as a Republican for the 1992 election (my first). I changed to an independent about 3 months ago. Ideologically, I'm center-right, a moderate. Last cycle, I pulled for John Kasich to give you a tangible idea of my leanings. I ended up writing in Bernie as a protest to Clinton (couldn't do it) and I was in the never-Trump camp. If Trump is the paragon for the modern Republican, I'm out.

PJacksonsDred15 Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 (edited) Trump has spent a 100 plus million dollars of taxpayer dollars at his own golf courses and hotels. His foreign policy is partly dictated by his business holdings and personal gain and opportunity. He flies his diplomats, cabinet members and military members to his hotels and resorts and profits, even when those places arent on the way. Foreign dignitaries stay at his hotels and resorts in order to gain favor. Often times renting out entire floors that go unused. He has refused to fully divest himself from his holdings and refuses to show his tax returns, thereby preventing the public from knowing about where all his personal interests lie. His 100 plus tweets a day are incoherent and mindless. He shows no restraint or ability to think rationally. He spends most of his days tweeting and watching television. He cares more about ratings than anything else, because he measures success on being well liked and popular. He has no real positions. He does and says whatever he thinks will make him popular. He withheld money apportioned by Congress and never told them about it and refused to meet with an allied leader. He did so to put pressure on that country to open an investigation on a political opponent. Any other President would be long gone by now. But as others have said, Republicans will support him no matter what. They actually think hes rooting out corruption. What Trump is good at is fooling people by yelling and screaming and accusing others of everything he does. People buy his act and hes great at it. The guy could sell you ice in Alaska with little effort. He will be acquitted and re-elected because Americans are infatuated with his money and power. He is what Americans define as success, especially the Boomer generation. Edited December 19, 2019 by PJackson'sDred15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, Trump is the only President that has fulfilled his campaign promises or in the process of doing so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly, I’d rather light my $ on fire than have it spent on free tuition for these spoiled, whiny little bastards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then they better elect Biden. Too many ppl use twitter as a method of polling. It’s nothing but a far left echo chamber. Normal ppl hate this SJW, identity politics bs.

They’re both dirty as hell...it’s all about choosing the lesser of two evils based on the topics that are important to you. Even then, there’s a 1% chance of them doing what they say they will. Our system is broken and both parties are crap. Each has drifted so far to the ‘crazy’ edge of their party that the hopes of electing a true moderate will only come from a third party, and that isn’t going to happen.
