We've been over this. I don't love Trump. But I fucking HATE the so-called progressive left.

I think it's absolutely great when Trump stumbles and they try to take him down, only to fail and emerge looking more deranged, petty, and unreasonable all the time. That unreasonableness is what got Trump elected in the first place, so the more that backfires, the better in my opinion. I think Trump is what America deserves, not necessarily what's best for America.

We tried to have an election in 2012. The Dems turned it into a knife fight. So the repubs went home and got a gun. I don't blame them.

Trump won, and won fairly. I believe he deserves the chance to do a good job, and the fact that he has to ward off CONSTANT media barrages, and incessant talk of impeachments and 25th amendments invocations is pathetic and detrimental. I blame the left for that, completely.

So no, I won't blindly follow Trump off a cliff if that's what you're asking. I'll support whatever hurts progressive causes the most.

Trump doesn't have the kind of "loyalty" you think he has. If he ran in a primary against Hannity, he'd be destroyed.

Is that who you want to see win in 2020?? You want to see a President Hannity??

The right doesn't have loyalty to Trump. They have an ax to grind with the left. They'll go with whoever lets them grind that ax the hardest.
Wow.

I think you're conflating your own personal issues with the reasons others vote. Not every Trumptard has the same reasons for being a Trumptard.

Some are clearly life-long Republicans who would vote for anyone as long as they can see (R) next to their name on the ballot.

Some, I think, are racists. And Trump's race-baiting appeals to them on that visceral level.

Some, I think, are jingoists who think MAGA and all that, and he's certainly portrayed himself as the most pro patria guy around.

Some, I think, are ignorant farmers and coal miner and other menial job types who think he cares about them cause he goes to their state and praises them when no-one else seems to give a shit.

Some, I think, are angry about this or that, and can generally be further divided into two subgroups:

a) those who hate government because they think it's corrupt and/or interferes with their lives too much; and

b) those who hate the left and anything that is associated with the left, and will vote in the furthest-right person they can out of sheer spite. And it's the b) group you seem to identify with.

I think actually YOU need to wake up and see that the next generation of Americans is bent on making real effective changes in your government, not by voting in a populist TV con man, but by adopting progressive candidates who are going to bring America finally to a place the rest of the civilized world is already at.
