To just be loving The Donald Win!

Exactly! Trans women is used as a gotcha! I am GC but cannot understand who would vote for him - women treated like chattels, forced birth.

"But we already know what Trump is like. He’s been president before, America didn’t implode, in fact they’ve voted him back in again, with a bigger majority. They think they were worse off under the democrats.

They prefer him to the woke, weak left, where they are financially worse off.

If someone has a different opinion to you, that doesn’t make you right."

They prefer a fascist 'strong man' because they're frightened of the future and are frightened by progressivism.

As has been every country in the past that's voted in a fascist strong man.

They were also told by Trump's client media that the recent inflation was the result of Democrat policies.

Of course any informed person knows that it was an economic phenomenon seen across all developed economies following the shock of the pandemic, and was only slightly worse in the US than in the Eurozone (and resolved faster in the US than in the Eurozone).

And as many on the right, like Trump, are also isolationist they have no idea what's been going on around the rest of the world because they don't access that type of reporting.

So ignorance, propaganda, hatred & fear of marginalised people (ie 'anti-wokeness) and misogyny & xenophobia rooted in Christian Nationalism have got the US where it is now.

I've listened to a few Amish who registered to vote for Trump. They said they were free and doing well in business under trump but since democrats got in they have had restrictions put on them and their businesses have suffered.
I imagine alot of christians wouldn't be able to vote for Harris as alot of what she campaigned for will be at odds with their religion.

The churches lobbied hard for Trump amongst their parishioners.

180k Amish registered to vote for Trump in Pennsylvania

That's their opinion but they don't speak for everyone. I'm sure if kamala won there'd be lots of comments from her supporters about being a woman.

Some westernised women do truly believe that. As they do in many societies/religions. A friend moved to the USA a real bible bashing belt. She was stunned. Intelligent high earning women who were happy to subjugate themselves to their fathers, husbands.

I wonder if those women voted for Trump for that reason.

It's well known that no 1 happens. Some women like money add in power it's cat nip.

These comments are all on Donald Trump Junior's instagram page, if anyone wants a look.

Note the

'Grab that pussy '

comment

Which is also written there

The exact words they wrote were

"Men do it better"

And another female poster replied

"Yes that's how God sees it"

I've attached a screenshot of one comment here

Hmmm…17pages and the OP hasn’t been back.
For what it’s worth, while I would disagree with the politics of any Republican leader and hope they wouldn’t be elected because I think they won’t help ordinary people I’d have understood people whose political opinion is different from mine voting for them. I don’t, can’t, won’t understand anyone who thinks a lying, narcissistic, misogynistic criminal is suitable for any kind of high office. The man is abhorrent on a personal level. I also thin’ anyone happy ‘because the libs are melting down’ is probably too in nature to understand what they are voting for. That’s a bonkers response.

I don't agree but I think those individuals have the right to their beliefs. Did they say men are better than women? Or that trump is a stronger leader than Harris?

To the trump supporters on here.

What's your thoughts on women writing that

"men are better than women - that's how God wants it"

On the Trump family's instagram pages.

It does make someone right if they're against crime.

Crime is always wrong.

I think you're forgetting how bad the world was under trump last time.

Do you remember when he imposed all the travel bans

Trump just cannot resist flattery. All any autocratic leader/despot has to do is tell him how great he is and he will be putty in their hands. He's also a blackmail risk due to his behaviour in the past. I'm sure Putin has come kompromat on him.

He will support Netanyahu unconditionally and will support the ethnic cleansing of Gaza and the West Bank. He may go to war with Iran, it depends on who is advising him. He is clueless about world affairs. He bases US foreign relations on whether the leaders of other countries have been nice to him or not.

He will de-fund Ukraine and try and persuade Zelensky to surrender the land that Russian has already captured.

I wish that the impacts of his presidency only affected the people who voted for him but unfortunately, it doesn't work like that.

But we already know what Trump is like. He’s been president before, America didn’t implode, in fact they’ve voted him back in again, with a bigger majority. They think they were worse off under the democrats.

They prefer him to the woke, weak left, where they are financially worse off.

If someone has a different opinion to you, that doesn’t make you right.

It's really sad to look at Donald Trump Junior's instagram page.

There are loads of Trump supporters on there saying awful things. They are saying that men are better than women. And they are saying to "grab that pussy!".

I've attached a screenshot.

@Sandygoldenbeaches this is politics now. I was listening to Dominic Sandbrook on the TRIP broadcast last night and he said that people, up and coming politicians, the Presidential candidates of the future, will now look at Trump's campaigns and say "this is what we must do to win" - the insults, the exaggerations (and downright lies). He has totally changed politics, probably for decades to come.

The next Democratic nominee will need to be in his (and yes I deliberately use "his") 40s, he will need to be white and he will need to be from a swing state. Any other choice, however progressive they may want to be, and it will hand the result to the Republicans and we will have, in all likelihood, President Vance.

Trump has signalled REPEATEDLY that he's an isolationist ...

Yes and there are numerous problems with that, @izimbra - but there's also an appeal for the many Americans who are sick of their country being expected to pay for everyone else's problems to be solved and then being snarled at for what results

Same with the approach to undocumented immigrants. I doubt too many are stupid enough to blame an entire community for the crimes of a few, especially when they look at the many millions who've built successful new lives and are valued because they contribute fully
On the other hand, neither will they take on trust the claims of fleeing terrible conditions when they know perfectly well that some are just too lazy to address their problems at home and fancy battening on someone else's success instead

I'm thinking of Kamala talking so graciously in defeat yesterday.

Then I go to look at Donald Trunp junior's instagram page. Instead of him saying anything kind to Kamala and saying that it was a good race, he is insulting Kamala and making fun of her.

Here is one post he put on his instagram stories today

Donald Trump's son (Donald Junior) is posting some really disgusting stuff on instagram.

This was one post

@AngsanaFlower "I honestly don’t believe Putin would’ve invaded Ukraine, or be canoodling with Korea if Trump had been in power."

This is a completely deranged comment.

Trump has signalled REPEATEDLY that he's an isolationist who wouldn't take the US into a war that didn't directly impact on US interests.

Just because Trump says 'No wars would have been started if I'd been in power' it doesn't make it true.

What I do know is that if Putin, KJY or Iran pissed off Trump, they’d live to regret it. But even before that, in the past he showed them respect, face, and turned down the heat on our relationships with them

I believe there's a lot in what you said about "turning down the heat", @AngsanaFlower
It's very easy to whip up a froth about how awful they are - which most thoroughly agree with anyway - but while tthe frothing's clearly fun to some, a more pragmatic approach may work better in the end

Wow! 👏

Has anyone seen the new cover of Vanity fair.

It lists all of Trumps crimes. It's good to see them on a cover of a major magazine

I guess they're not a fan!
