[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fellow Trump supporter here.  Part of it was watching all of our liberal friends cry and pearl-clutch after the last election.  The way they talked, they just couldn't understand why anyone would vote for Trump.  Since then, the dialogue has only deteriorated.  Jumps straight to name-calling and snarling.  Your education, morals and character are called into question (even though I have posted numerous citations in DCUM threads that show that Republicans are just as (or more) informed than Democrats on a wide variety of topics, including science, the Constitution, US history, etc. etc.)  There is basically no convincing people (so no reason for a sign) and no reason to risk property damage from all of the enlightened liberals in our area.

This.  
Highly educated, female.  Don't need the name-calling etc.--gets old really fast.  If people want to discuss the specifics of a specific policy or proposal based on facts and evidence, I'll all in.  But the broad-brush stuff--forget it.  Like pp who has done all of the pro bono work (BRAVO!), I'll stick to walking the walk instead of talking the talk.

Agree.  I don’t like or respect Trump on a personal level but I support most of his policies.  My political beliefs certainly align more closely with his than Biden’s and especially Harris’s.  Given some of the vitriol I see in the media on Facebook, etc., I’d rather not open myself up debate or worse by openly supporting Trump.

DH’s business partner is black and he early voted for Trump.  I have at least two friends who voted for Hillary in 2016 and are now Trump supporters.  I think the constant vitriol, cancel culture with complete intolerance for differing views is making for a lot of silent Trump supporters and I think the Dems will be surprised by the election results.
