I feel sorry for Trump supporters

[bill718]

I honestly do. These folks are usually not happy people. I know a few of them personally. They are my cousin who has not worked since 1997, lives off the charity of his sister in a small trailer in a tiny west coast town, still hoping for the only lumber mill in the area (his last job) to reopen. My brother in law, who makes a marginal living repairing old cars. A former middle school classmate who works in the garden section of Home Depot, not eligible for promotion to a management job because because he is nearly illiterate. All of them over 45, none made it past the 8th grade. They are poor, white and angry, their health is bad, they drink too much, and have long since given up hope of improving their situation. I try to be friendly, but It's difficult to talk to them anymore. Though I came from a blue collar background, I now own a successful business doing insurance verification and billing for doctors, and see the jealousy and hatred in their eyes whenever we meet. They are throwbacks from an industrial age that is fading into history. On the rare occasions they write anything, their grammar is childish, their spelling is worse, and all of them engage in childish name calling, such as Libtards, Commies, and Dims. Yes, some of this is their fault, they could have finished high school, or at least gone to the local library to try to learn a new skill., but in many ways the system has left them behind. Their lives have not improved under Trump, but they still cling to the hope this rich New York businessman will somehow make things better for them.

Pigs might fly.....but I doubt it.

The two smartest people I have known did not finish high school, they were self taught and had a wealth of knowledge.

Your disdain for the working class is duly noted.

And my husband and I, both Trump voters and college graduates living in the suburbs. So I guess there you go.

And my sister and brother-in-law, also both Trump voters, college grads, quite well off and also living in the suburbs in another state.

All four of us are very happy people, all things considered.

And my parents, both Trump voters, retired and well off, living in a small town.

Well I guess I shot that all to heck, didn't I? So much for neat little narratives.

Don't disturb him, let him have his happiness looking down his nose at other people who he considers inferior to himself.

Modern liberals pretend compassion but in truth they are the most snotty, elitist people who ever walked the planet. The OP is insufferable. Absolutely insufferable.

 

[Blackrook]

Now they've discovered white women aren't voting for them, so they have begun to disrespect them too.

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

Trump supporters have only themselves to blame.

 

[SweetSue92]

I am an educated, suburban white woman who used to be liberal, many years ago. I walked away long, long, long before anyone thought of the hashtag walkaway. They are corrupt and power hungry to their very core, Leftists. Everything they say they are is exactly what they are not.

Compassionate to the poor and downtrodden, for just one example. Again, look at the OP. It's shameful and sickening.

 

[Blackrook]

Trump supporters have only themselves to blame.

For what? We won the election. Your side lost.

We can't be blamed for the temper tantrums you've been having ever since.

 

[SweetSue92]

Trump supporters have only themselves to blame.

I would rather support Trump than ever be responsible for typing what's in the OP. I can tell you that.

But Progressives now, it's who they are. Congratulations to you.

 

[Blackrook]

The Democrats think it's ok to abort innocent unborn babies. Right there, that's most of the problem I have with them.

None of the other issues really matter to me in comparison to that.

I'm sure some are quite successful, some are destitute; some are happy, some are sad; etc... But the common thread is that for nearly 2 years now, they have been in damage control mode. I feel sorry for them because of that. It's got to be exhausting to spend 24/7 defending the blob against legitimate (and some illegitimate nonsense that every President has) inquiries and going to extremes that are 180 degrees counter to their core beliefs.

Such is their lot in life.

 

[Blackrook]

I voted for Trump but I feel no responsibility to defend him. He's a big boy and can take care of himself.

You watch too much CNN and MSNBC. I'm not in "damage control". The economy is soaring, foreign relations are fine, Mueller is digging up a bunch of nothign--ho hum. We'll see what happens in 2020.

What’s pathetic about Trump supporters is that they are so ignorant, so frightened, and so consumed by hate that they’d blindly follow the likes of Trump.

It’s sad that Trump supporters live such lives so consumed by fear and hate.

Never trust a Republican when he tells you he wants to force the 16 year old high school to have a baby that she can`t and won`t take care of. Former western Pa. congressman Tim Murphy was against abortion before he was for it because It`s a great way to get the votes of the American Taliban. Of course this is no different than getting votes from drooling cowardly racists who thought Mexico was going to buy them a wall to hide behind. You people are easily played.
