It's because you buy the lies being sold by the Heritage Foundation, CATO, conservative media, et cetera... Sorry but climate change is real, yes, fossil fuel is a big cause of it, and no, gay marriage won't ruin your own marriage. You're just wrong and hate being reminded of that, so you make the person reminding you that you're wrong out to be the bad guy. Rationalization 101. Still doesn't make you right.

+100 I get so tired of their idiotic views that sound like they are in elementary school circle ring doing kumbaya. "The US should allow anyone who wants to live here should be able to" "We have to make everything about race" "we have to apologize to the US constantly..." "We are the worst nation ever on the earth" "We should change the names of all of our roads, monuments, dollar bills and bathrooms ..." and so on. It is intolerant and ridiculous.

So don't be angry with your friends for falling for Trump's comforting BS. Pity them for being consumed by fear. And don't talk politics with them until after the election.

No, we are not fearful. We are just sick of what is happening to this country. Our military. Our economy. Our foreign “policy” (of which there is really no policy at all).
So, we are just fed up. Not fearful.
Don’t pity us.

Our country? Yes, you can't stand the sight of brown people and you freak out when you hear someone speaking in any language other than English.
Our military? What the fuck are you talking about? We STILL spend more than the next ten biggest countries combined on our military, and yes, that includes both Russia and China. If you think our military is being cut back in any meaningful way you are delusional.
Our foreign policy? Ah, yes, what you mean by that is the continuing fall out of fucked-up BUSH foreign policy, which got us into multiple wars, destabilized the entire Middle East, gave rise to Al Qaeda and ISIS, and put us trillions of dollars in debt.

You're fed up? No, I'm fed up, because it was your kind of bullshit that's been screwing up our economy, letting our infrastructure fall apart, and making America a less safe. Trump needs to go. Needs to LOSE. Needs to BE FIRED.

Amen. Every Trump supporter I know is a racist and a hypocrite. Thinks their "bad luck" is other people's fault, and that other people are getting rich off their taxes. When in reality, it's the Trump supporters who like him because they think he's going to give them a bunch of stuff --- when in reality, he plans to slash everything to make the 1 percent richer. They are such suckers.

You couldn’t be more wrong. Talk about “free stuff?” That would be those supporting Sanders.
And, you must not know many Trump supporters. Your post proves it.

Sorry, you still have my pity. Voting for Trump is just not rational. You had 16 better qualified candidates you could have chosen, and instead you chose the one who promised to build a 50 foot wall to protect you from Spanish-speaking children.

Serious question: What's so bad about the country right now? For instance, recently I hear from conservatives how horrible the military is. When did it suddenly get so horrible?

The military have had their hands tied when it comes to their ability to do their job. Read up on it. It is called Obama’s “rules of engagement.” And, don’t forget incidences like the soldier who confronted an Afghan police officer for assaulting a boy. The soldier was nearly courtmartialed. (I think he finally was released) He does not respect the job they do.
And, the economy. Just look at today’s dismal job numbers and the fact that we have not had ONE YEAR of over 2.5 % GDP growth under Obama. That is pathetic.
And, if you can explain Obama’s foreign policy - have at it. Even the experts don’t know what it is.

The economy? You mean the one Bush tanked and handed to Obama when we were headed for the next Great Depression? Your evil Republican ways are what got us into that mess.

I do tend to surround myself with thoughtful, rational people. But it's easy to pick up the Trump supporters. They want make 'Murica great again!

It has been EIGHT DAMN YEARS. Quite blaming Bush. Obama owns this. And, it is not good.

It took 10 years and a World War to climb out of the Great Depression. Obama's doing just fine. We don't give it back to Bankrupt Boy Trump to fuck over Americans,.

I am not a Trump supporter but I actually know some Trump supporters.

From your words is is crystal clear you don't know a single atrump supporter in real life and have not an iota of an idea of what you are talking about.

I do not agree with everything he has said. Yes, he has said things that make me cringe or gasp and some of his ideas are out in left field. But, I have yet to find a candidate that I agree with on everything. The difference is that most of the other candidates are not as provocative.

But, I cannot vote for Hillary. I disagree with almost everything she stands for and I truly believe this country will be in worse shape in 4 years if she wins.

So, I have come to terms with the idea of voting Trump. I have friends and family who will not vote for him because of what he has said, and I have friends and family who are eager to vote for him - they, also, do not agree with everything he has said.

I also believe that the media has blown up a lot of what he has said and made it into something it isn’t.

I don’t have any problem being friends with Trump supporters. Because, I know most of them are like me.

Regardless of his nonsense about Muslims and Mexicans, doesn't the thought of giving Trump the nuclear codes keep you up at night? Can you see him working with foreign leaders? Do you really think he knows ANYTHING about foreign policy? Do you really want a president who calls people names like a schoolyard bully? I guess what shocks me is how people cannot see how juvenile his behavior is. You wouldn't accept that behavior from your own children. Why would you accept it from your president?
