Why did you vote for Trump?
Why did you vote for Trump?
I for one, would sincerely & respectfully want to hear the rationale. I'm suspecting 'Judges' ranks very high, along with 'America First' & 'Taxes'.

Hey, that was pretty good. Thanks!Forget this thread. There will only be monkey-feces throwing here. If you want a much less stupid and less noisy answer, listen to the latest episode of Left, Right and Center.

*bolding mineWhat’s his name, Fauci, this expert is the one that's telling us, you know, 200,000 people are going to die if we don't do all this. And then the next thing you know, it's, ‘Well, maybe our numbers were a little off.’ It's like global warming. It's all a model, and it's all turned out to be seriously wrong.”

And catch this, from the women selling Trump merchandise:

Damn! Ironically prophetic, and she didn't even know it! :doh
Doing it, as we speak! Yeah, good stuff! :thumbs:I would suggest listening to the podcast. Those are just snippets and the whole thing is more humanizing.
Crazy as it sounds, I like the accent of the women from Appalachia. And the store owner from Texas seems like a genuine decent guy. A Trump supporter I could get along with, I think. But the women from Michigan? Marone!I would suggest listening to the podcast. Those are just snippets and the whole thing is more humanizing.

Oh, the Catholic guy from Virginia? Different education & income levels from my folks, but those Catholic rubrics were right out of my childhood! Latin! Praying! And lots of it!
Ozarks? Never heard of it 'till I wiki'd it. Naperville to the Ozarks for money laundering? Definitely's got my interest!Ozark gave me a bit of a sweet spot for the "hillbilly accent." Julia Garner combined with her performance in Maniac gave me a sweet spot for that accent. Well, not the accent, but Julia Garner.
Okay, maybe I just have a crush on Julia Garner.

BTW - I once dated a girl from Tennessee. There was some of that accent, in her. She was unbelievably honest, genuine, and down to earth. And always seemed to speak directly from her soul. But I was a city-boy wanting a faster life chasing the city-girls, so that was that. I didn't stay too long with one, back then. And I made no exception for her. Not long after, I heard she was back in Tennessee.
In my mind there's definitely a distinction between the two. In common colloquial terms, anyway.Ozark...singular. The show put most business into glaring perspective...including my own.. It’s a damn fine story, though it occasionally appeals to incredulity that would get you killed in fifteen seconds flat if you tried repeating certain characters’ actions.
One of the show’s central figures also creates a surprising distinction between hillbillies and rednecks, a conflict I didn’t even know existed until the show. I wonder if that conflict is real or if it was invented for narrative convenience.

People don't vote Trump because they are racist or evil. People vote Trump because they have been thoroughly convinced that Democrats are going to culturally marginalize them, take away everything they care about, and then burn their country to ashes. This is not hyperbole, this is what way too many Republicans honestly believe thanks to the incessant fear mongering of conservative propaganda, and for most of them no amount of rational discourse or historical hindsight can penetrate this desperately held belief.
Democrats would do well to remember this: By far the vast majority of Trump supporters are motivated, first and foremost, by existential dread.
Because Democrats are pro-abortion, anti-gun, anti-police, pro-violence, anti-America, pro-high taxation, pro giveaways to foreign nations.
Don't pretend that you can speak for Trump voters/supporters.
All one would have to do is to read the thousands of DP posts from Trump resistors since election day to understand why I'm motivated to vote for Trump.
If I had a nickel for every post where a Trump supporter was vehemently and incorrectly tagged with one of the basket of deplorable labels meant to marginalize... It didn't work in the 2016 election cycle, and it sure as hell is not going to work now. Many, some just like you, are slow learners.
Don't insult us.
