Is that your measure? Truthfulness and marital integrity?

Are you sure?

Still waiting on an answer to this...

And you'll keep waiting you intolerant, rude, little bitch. You were asked a question first which you have yet to answer. You don't get to demand answers to subsequent questions without answering the ones posed to you first. Or are you doing the typical entitled democrat schitck right now?

Truth hurts, huh?

Tell us more about how much you value truthfulness so we can laugh at you, hypocritical twit.

Sit down. I haven't called on you yet.

And my friends liked that I challenged them. It helps to understand others if you are willing to consider the opposing viewpoint. It either strengthens your own argument or can bring you to a more moderate viewpoint on a topic as you may not have known key facts before. It mostly helps with the thing so many in national politics have forgotten - compromise.

I will say most of my friends who considered themselves strong republicans in college are now much more moderate as adults. They have either declared themselves Independent or Libertarian. Most walked away from the R’s before 2016 over the hard line social or gun stands. One said he walked away over the choice of Palin and the anti-Intellectual views of the party/base. Many still consider themselves fiscally conservative, but can no longer support Rs.

I call bullshit on that. I hate republican moralizing as much as the next person, but when it comes to growing the economy and fiscal responsibility, there is no way I'm voting for a Democrat - even if I agree with abortion and other issues. The debt we are going to leave our kids is astounding.

Actually, the economy and the market tends to do better under Democratic Presidents.

I do not personally know a single Trump voter in this area (who has knowingly disclosed it), and only a handful of people who voted for Gary Johnson and have tepid relations with Democratic candidates. Eyeballing some of the 2016 results, about 3% of DC, 19% of MoCo, and 4-10% of Silver Spring (varies by precinct) voted for Trump. So, a clear minority, but still a high number considering the high population.

If you voted for Trump, and continue to support him/plan on doing so in 2020, what is your social experience in this very blue metro area? Which thing applies to you?

A. I'm rather apolitical and/or I don't bring up politics when I'm out and about.
B. I live in one of the relatively more conservative areas of the metro area and my views more or less reflect those around me, or are less of a minority.
C. Most people around me are probably liberal but I have found and gotten to know and associate with other Trump supporters near me.
D. I have friends and family of known mixed political affiliations and we laugh about it.
E. I have friends and family of known mixed political affiliations and we argue about it.
F. I'm surrounded by far-left liberal loons and I hate it.
G. Most people around me disagree with me and I don't care.

Again, this is not necessarily Republicans or Hogan voters, but Trump voters specifically. And I'm not trying to troll here, I am genuinely curious about political polarization and would be equally curious about a hardcore leftist/liberal on the Eastern Shore or southwestern VA.

You actually know many secret Trump voters. There are lots of us. It’s how the polls got things so wrong. I voted for Trump and no one who knows me would ever guess it. not even my husband knows. And in case your wondering what drove me over the edge, the left has just gotten too extreme. I wish I had a better choice but I don’t regret my vote.

You’re quite wrong. Most of us who voted for Trump have quite a bit about him we don’t like. That’s part of how I’m able to keep from blowing my cover. There’s plenty about him I can genuinely complain about.

My Aunt voted for Trump and her husband voted for the Green Party candidate.

I don't understand what Trump supporters are arguing here? That we should be forced to socialize with them?


This is not a matter of politics. It's a matter of the character you have shown by choosing to put this man in power. Simple as that. This did not happen for people when they voted for Bush or Reagan. Ask yourselves why.

Yeah, that's the reason, they didn't vote for Hillary - because she's a woman. By the way, do you think liberal men in the U.K. Didn't vote for Margaret Thatcher because she's a woman?

Because you people are absolutely crazy about Trump. Bush and Reagan were part of "the club," as was Clinton. Washington staffers and lobbyists just circled in and out of government positions/ lobbying firms and kept the same parties going. Same in Obama years. All was great, because everyone was playing the same game - Washington against the rest of the country.

Now we have someone who is onto you, and you can't stand it. He doesn't mind calling you out with outrageous tweets. There are many of us in Washington who think it's hilarious that the rest of the country finally has a real spokesperson in the White House.

THAT'S why.

I love when the paranoid, mentally-ill posters start chiming in.

I don't think you understand. We don't hate him because we think he is calling us out or is "onto us". We hate him because we believe all the things he says are either a) lies or b) irrational rants like a senile drunk racist uncle, and we are horrified and embarrassed. The fact that his insane rants are your truth makes us recoil and look at Trump supporters as equally insane and irrational. It shocks me that you truly don't get this at all.
