----------------------------------------------------------------------When an anti-Trumper hears someone is a pro-Trumper they think the individual is: Uneducated Immoral. Is that fair?
I think the question is a fair one, poster Mudd.
It's narrow. Too narrow for my taste. Nor will I address the 'fairness' aspect.
But the questioning ---- is there a perceptual difference that each side thinks they see in the other? Well, yeah, that is of interest.
It is a subject that really interests me. Most of my friends....tho by no means all.....are deep-in-the-bones NeverTrumpers. And I wouldn't dare attempt to convince 'em otherwise.
But, I have other friends. ...good, sincere, hard-working, generous neighbors to my farm....that are still flying their faded Trump/Pence flags. I treasure their friendships and their willingness to lend a helping hand. But we never ever talk politics. Not even about the local sheriff.
We DO...talk about our Township Clerk. Because we all lover her to death. We are so....so....damn lucky to have a woman of that competency and earnestness. I....or my neighbors....would never brook anyone dissing her over her administration, judgment......or vote counting. So there is that.
I will say this, and it is admittedly a soda-straw view of my world, but my NeverTrump friends are, by a huge margin, better educated of the two camps. And the 'immoral' aspect? Well, that never comes into play. I try so hard to sidestep those types in my circle of friends, neighbors, and contacts.
Although, I will say this: some of the local Evangelicals are Uber-Trumpers. And nobody trusts them. Not because they are pro-Trump, but because we've seen those vexing occurrences where they claim 'God's will' underpins one of their slyboots transactions in buying or selling something.
