So, people supporting Traitor Trump are doing it because liberals are angry?

That sounds like a stupid reason to support an orange blob or any politician.

So, they think Obama got voted in by more people in the country then ever in the last 30 years because we thought conservatives were angry?

What a stupid thing to tweet.

that if any Democratic Party member were to have a bust of President Obama cast and place on the mantle, the rwnjs would lose their minds screaming about how sick that person is.

but no, this is the new normal. Gaud, I almost puked typing that.

How much of a pathetic failure of a human being do you have to be to vote for candidates based on how much you think they'll upset people?

They're like Pavlov's dogs; they're trained to salivate when they hear triggers like 'Democrats' 'Obama' 'Clinton'.

I don't really like Republicans but I'm not about to give up my health care, minimum wage increases, national security or environmental protections just to piss them off.

Culture voters support Trump because he shares their hate for people of color, LGTBQ, Muslims, etc.

trump, like any really good con artist, gets their confidence by playing on their emotions telling them over and over again how they're getting screwed over by they're government and people in it, then repeats it over and over again and uses lies , then exaggerates them into the projected story he wants them to believe, that he is with them, and the only one that can fix it. He is a professional at doing this to people, then using them for his own purpose until he's done, then he discards them like they're nothing to him.People like him could care less about others, and its always all about himself.
