Fear and anger. Fuels Trump’s base

[Anonymous]

It seems silly to me that liberals keep trying to tell me that I am angry, scared, uneducated, racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic and sexist person.

I voted for Donald Trump and I don't regret it at all. I am overall satisfied with how he has performed. Obama was a horrible president and divided the nation in numerous ways - not along ideological lines but superficial lines such as race and ethnicity. I am glad that we were able to prevent Hillary Clinton from doing more of the same.

I look at the juvenile and erratic behaviors of the liberal left with some wry humor, and a smidgen of concern. Luckly, most liberals are not evil people, just ignorant and misinformed, which is why their behavior comes off as clownish rather than intimidating.

Honest to God, I had no clue there were so many delusional and idiotic trump supporters in DC. I have never seen such poor reasoning, failed logic and misrepresentation of actual facts in one place like this before! Eye-opening to say the least. And then when the trump supporter is clearly proven wrong, they come back with "libshit" childish names and vile descriptions on how the poster wouldn't give you "the stream off his piss".

Who are these under-educated and creepy people?!

There are tons of them. I am from the midwest and they are all over. I was not surprised that Trump won. In fact, in the primary, I voted for Kasich even though I am a Dem because I was worried about it. I have lived around these people my entire life and it is frightening.

+1 there are so truly ugly Americans out there and on this forum. They can't even reason and think for themselves. I can tell what the Fox "buzz word" is by how many times posters parrot it. It is embarrassing and frightening to be honest.

Bur remember they are the smallest of minorities. On election day, trump only won with 26% of eligible voters. And his poll numbers have slipped do drastically since his inauguration that his support must be down to the teens in actual supporters.

trump-lovers cannot be who we are as a country or we are doomed. I mean that.

Fear and anger; lifeblood of the Democratic Party.

What's so fascinating about the hypocrisy of the liberal left? On the one hand liberals call republicans like myself racist and xenophobes, while at the same time fan the flames of racial and xenophobic divide by constantly pitting the groups against each other, casting every conversation in the light of victim-hood.

Well, I don't play that game, because I'm not driven by fear and anger.

The conservatives on this thread keep demonstrating that the OP was correct.

So you did something horribly stupid - voting for the horribly unqualified candidate - and your conscience is clear. Damn it Obama! Why didn’t you throw these people into camps like they said you were going to do to them?

Horribly unqualified? You mean Obama? That wasn’t us. That was you!

Bless your heart.

As normal people watch our international stature diminished and Republicans swear people respect us more... I’d have to agree with you.

All you have to do is look at the foreign press to see the jokes and dismissal since the 2016 election. It's not good. Our gun violence problem alone has the rest of the world befuddled.

The rest of the world can plainly see that Trump and conservatives are an incompetent, hypocritical joke.

Lumping all conservatives together as a single monolith reveals the bigotry you portend to despise. Hypocrite.

Conservatives = people who didn’t try to keep Trump out of office and continue to do nothing about Trump

Did you try to keep Hillary out of office, disgusting as she was?

Hillary wasn’t and isn’t disgusting. I voted for her in both her primaries and I’m proud to say I voted for her in the 2016 general, too. She had a vision for America, detailed and well laid out. She had a kind and forward looking vision, and I will continue to go in the direction of progress. Not toward fear and ignorance.

DP. Well, that's certainly your opinion. Many others disagree. And that's life.

Yes, it is my opinion. But my opinion in this matter is backed by facts.

But FACTS are meaningless to the GOP's base. They only care about whatever hysterical disinformation that Fox is feeding them at the moment.

"A kind and forward looking vision"?? A "well laid out" vision for America? Sorry - those are opinions. Not facts. Don't confuse the two.

They keep trying to pin his Hideousness on the Democrats, but if they were really proud of him, they'd be proud of it. Instead we get regular, "this is why Trump won" remarks. Own it. Take your fear-fattened amygdalas and take responsibility for this plague you have wrought upon us with your inability to read people or positions.

THIS is why Trump won. I know how that gets under your skin, but in reality it's the truth. He won because so many Americans were sick and tired of the Democrats "inability to read people or positions." Specifically, HRC.

Sorry you don't like to hear it, but you guys really need to own the reason he's in office.

No, that’s not why he's in office. And for god's sake, stop blaming us for your bad decision! I didn’t fill in the circle for that monster - you did. That’s on your conscience, not mine.

Sure it is. You guys just can't bear to hear how you've alienated huge swaths of the population, and how *your* actions resulted in Trump being elected president. Oh, and my conscience is perfectly clear, thanks!

Quit gaslighting. You were a deplorable before the election. And you're still a deplorable. Don't blame us because you like deplorable policies and politicians.

It's ok. The truth hurts. Which is why you throw around your meaningless phrases du jour ("gaslighting, deplorable"). You can't bear to admit how culpable you were in Trump's election.

This thread (and so many others) are perfect examples. They get so flustered because they insist they know better than everyone else and stomp their feet like children when they can't make the rest of us fall into line. It really is clownish, as you said.
