President Trump: Making America Great Again...

[BlueK]

It's depressing that in an election year, Trump doesn't feel the need to even hide his racism. It's no coincidence that this comes on the heels of Biden picking Harris as his running mate. He's pandering to the bigotry of so many of his constituents. In 2016 he was going to keep us safe from the murderers and rapists south of the border. This time he's going to keep us safe from black politicians who are going to let black people move into your neighborhood.

It's also depressing that a significant portion of his fanbase can read that and not think there is anything sexist or racist in it.

That’s not too surprising. Some of the most racist people I know genuinely don’t think they are racist.

True. But I'm not thinking about the 30-35% of the population that want djt on the Mount Rushmore. I'm thinking more about those people in the middle that took a flyer on djt four years ago and 1) are still leaning that way but impressionable and 2) those that have moved away from djt but might still be coaxed back because they fear Biden might actually hurt God.

but, like, all this shit was there for those people to pass judgment on in 2016 already. the "grab her by the pussy" tape was what, a month old on 11/8/16? the people that matter aren't swayed by his moral failings.

Perhaps their Hillary Hate outweighed that. Plus, they might have thought, "Well, that was years ago and let's see how this goes." They seen how this has gone.

My MAGA cousin believes that Trump has mellowed in his older age and genuinely come to Jesus.

i admire your optimism but you're giving these people too much credit. bunch of bottom of the barrel, barely literate dipshits who, real talk, should not be allowed to procreate or operate machinery bigger than a moped.

Last election, the dislike of Hillary kept a lot of Dem voters home and got a lot of GOP voters to the polls. Neither really motivated by who they were voting FOR as much as who they were voting AGAINST.

This election the fact that many Dems hate Trump more than they disliked Hillary could motivate them to vote. Meanwhile, it's the GOP who has a candidate that will bleed some voters. There's no doubt that Dems hate Trump more than the GOP dislikes Biden. Either way - we are again having an election where the majority of the electorate is motivated by who they are voting AGAINST more than who they are voting FOR.

This isn't the way elections are supposed to work. We're supposed to be choosing between leaders with a vision as to what our country can become and deciding which approach and policies make the most sense to us. Not between two old white perverts and their seconds, who everyone hopes remain seconds in spite of how bad the primary candidate is.

I would take Pence over Trump or Biden.

GOP voters were/are tired of losing the moral battles that they thought they had locked down years ago. They cast their lot with the guy who has no moral compass, just because he punches back. When culture wars are all you have left, you support the one who fights them, even though he is morally bankrupt.

Me neither. Pence is worthless.

Yuge...

Trump is right. The Israel-UAE agreement is a huge achievement.

Absolutely. So many friends and neighbors are big Trump supporters based solely on his stand on abortion. I cannot help but think Trump has availed himself of this particular freedom more than once in his life, but they overlook all his personal faults because he commits to a cause that will never, ever be reversed. Never (unless we can find a technical solution). So his commitment to abortion is window dressing and based on this window dressing, they overlook some pretty egregious sins. Whereas a decent man like Romney gets pilloried because he is enough of a realist to acknowledge that abortion is a battleground that has already been conceded.
