He couldn’t have been voted in without the support of women. As a non-Trump fan myself, I’m wondering what is it you like about him? This applies to non-US voters who favour him and would vote for him if possible.

I think perhaps we should turn this into "why did Kamala Harris not win?". What was so bad about her policies that people voted for Trump instead? To me as an outsider nothing on earth would persuade me to vote for him, but there must be something about her/her party that put people off.

She's a black ( American viewpoints) woman and whilst they can accept the black I don't think they're ready for a woman president.

I am pretty certain Trump will be as effective in reducing immigration as the Tories have been. But we shall see.

I voted for him. My hometown is from a place near Springfield Ohio. The resettlement of Haitians has destroyed that town, and other towns near it. Charleroi in PA is a town of maybe 4000 people, had 2000 Haitians dumped on them and is destroying the town. I don’t want this to happen to
my town and I voted accordingly

What do you believe Trump will do regarding immigration?

No, that’s deflection. People who didn’t want Harris could have voted for a minor candidate, abstained or spoiled their ballot. A vote for Trump is clearly a vote for Trump, and the question is: why?

Haven't RTFT but am pleased and relieved he won. Why?

The Dems are deeply infected by the woke trans ideology and Critical Race Theory/DEI. It is extremely damaging for women and children to promote the idea that any man can self ID as woman and invade all women's and girls single sex spaces and sports. DEI promotes mediocrity and is deeply racist. Trump will deal with these ideological beliefs and begin to reverse the damage done. He will reinstate border controls, very important to any country. We only want people who apply legitimately to become citizens. We have a right to vet them all. These the are main reasons.

And this is why we'll end up with Reform in UK

We really won’t.

We've tried it the liberals way for a long time and too much has got worse. The trans madness, violent cities and uncontrolled immigration has been steps too far for the public.

Wait where have we tried the Liberal way for a long time?
In the UK for the past 15 years? No?
In the US for what 4 years, with the 4 prior ones trump? That's hardly trying anything for any meaningful time.

I like his stance on immigration and his straight forwardness. The left has gone a bit loony in the past decade and right leaning candidates are appealing to me so they bring some normality back to the world. I'm very pro abortion and have had one myself and disagree with it being banned before 16 weeks but basing a vote around one issue like abortion is stupid to me.

To me, the chances of me needing an abortion to save my life is much lower than me being under threat from an illegal from a violent country, getting shanked by a junkie in a state where drugs are decriminalised or getting shot by a burglar or a mugger if I wasn't allowed to defend myself or having my business or car damaged by rioters which are all things that tend to come along with blue states.

Any evil or harm that would come to women due to an abortion ban if women voted in a party who say wanted a blanket ban on it would still probably be less overall than the harm that would come to us by the issues above so I'd be comfortable still supporting the anti abortion party despite not agreeing with the stance.

I think lots of women like myself want some normality and security vs the current feel good "let's save the world!" stance which makes everything uncertain and dangerous, and I think there's too much social pressure for more women to be loud and out about this stance hence the unexpected amount of women who voted for trump. You see it all of the time if someone says they support the "wrong" party, it's almost a taboo to say it outloud and I find it undemocratic.

Unfortunately there are no circumstances in which I can be okay with a baby being killed even where the mother’s life is in danger.

@batt3nb3rg you should be ashamed of yourself for this paragraph alone.
I hope you don't have daughters.

They want a daddy.

Ugh this is bringing back unpleasant memories of Tucker Carlson excitedly talking about daddy aka Trump coming home to spank his unruly 15 year old teenage daughter aka America 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢

Eww. They call him Cucker Tarlson for a reason. He's Trump's little bitch.

I feel so sorry for the people who didn’t vote for him, even more-so than the innocent people of Clacton.

Frowningprovidence · 06/11/2024 18:41

I'm not sure anyone who did vote for him will feel that comfortable replying on this thread as its more people saying they don't like him.

Personally I would really like to understand the positives as people must have some ideas.

momtoboys · 06/11/2024 18:38

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. He is a racist, homophobic, misogynistic PIG who will use the next four years to do all that he can to line his pockets. This is a scary time to live in the US because he will be completely unfettered with no chance of another reelection and he will make the country the laughing stock of the free world.

No, it really isn't that, or at least, it's a minor factor. The truth is that they're irrational. People shy away from that, they don't want to face how fucked up America is. They want to presume Trump voters had good reasons. They didn't. It's completely emotional and based on fantasy. They want a magical strongman to fix everything because then they can abdicate all responsibility. They want a daddy. It's the same reason Putin is inexplicably popular in Russia. That's the brutal truth. People are irrational.

The economy.

He is a deeply unpleasant narcissistic bully but when it comes down to being able to afford the grocery bill, hearing, the mortgage and keeping your job then voters will prioritise this over his character.

It's easy for the well off educated middle classes to dismiss this as simply greed but not so easy if you are struggling.

Apolloneuro · 06/11/2024 18:31

I think he’s an immoral, criminal, racist, ableist and misogynistic megalomaniac. He’s also phenomenally talented. Bloody dangerous combination.

I would love to know how many pro lifers forced birthers adopt all those lovely babies they are saving

Also, why are they so comfortable with the rise in infant and maternal mortality in forced birth states.
We won't get an honest answer to any of these questions. They are hypocrites and deep down they know it. They just don't care. Just once I'd like to see one of them admit the truth, but it will never happen. I have been asking them these kind of questions for twenty five years and haven't got an honest answer yet.

Backwoods57 · 06/11/2024 18:29

I like that he is anti-abortion

He isn't though, he believes that the states should decide themselves not the federal government.

HecatesBees · 06/11/2024 18:26

MrsJoanDanvers · 06/11/2024 18:18

If only the pro lifers were as vocal annd campaigned as hard about the babies already here.

Well I'm British and not American so what I think doesn't really matter.

But if I had to pick something I would say that I admire how open he is. I mean you never really know what's going to come out of his mouth and he really doesn't care who he offends. I believe that most people and politicians have quite a few unpopular opinions but they would never dare to voice them. They just hide it and tell people what they want to hear. So most of us don't trust a single word they say. Trump is different.

Everything that comes out of his mouth is a lie!! He lies all the time. Saying what he thinks people want to hear. Which is depressing as fuck when you think about it.

MrsJoanDanvers · 06/11/2024 18:22

I’ve heard he is very charming in private. He is a good listener. He is prepared to talk to the ‘other side’. He is an antidote to the ‘progressive elite’ (ref Corbyn et al) who think of the poor as victims solely to be rescued and divide people into groups according to their identity. I’m not saying I like him-but these are the things I like about him. And I can really understand why he beat Kamala. And the sexual allegations? Well, the Dems had Clinton in the White House.

I find it odd they call themselves pro life when they’re actually just pro forced birth.
