Could you be with a man who would have voted Trump?

[Trumpz]

Just that really.

My husband doesn't love Trump exactly but said tonight he would have voted for him and he hopes Trump will "dismantle the deep state".

Could you be with a Trump voter? Interested in people's views.

I firmly believe that threads like these are exactly why Trump won. Anyone who even shows a vague glimmer in support of Trump is ruthlessly bullied by the liberal luvvies. In the US, anyone wearing a MAGA hat was spat at, vocally abused, and in many cases, physically assaulted, so most Trump supporters kept quiet, only emerging en masse to vote yesterday, much to the deep shock of the clueless liberals. It was you who got Trump voted in because of your unwillingness to listen and engage rationally. I hope you're happy.

I'd assume he means the increasing takeover by global corporations, the offshoring of jobs to 'low cost' countries, the massive transfer of wealth to a small global elite etc.

Sounds like a euphemism for the New World Order conspiracy theory tbh

This is so common on MN.
People here were shocked when Brecit happened.
Because MN said no one nice was a Leaver and as only remainers commented, as the alternative was a dog pile it was believed that the majority irl were remainers.....

Same for every time the Tories got in

The reality is being loud is not the same as being right.

Absolutely not.

Harsh on monitor lizards! They’re ace and I’d much rather one than an ignorant man.

Again, how does he/they feel about the things Trump has said about women? I genuinely don't mean it to sound like I'm provoking an argument but when he said 'you can grab their pussy' 'when you're a star'.

Definitely not a Trump supporter but I think I can answer this one fairly easily. It's largely because those voting for Trump know he likes to say inflammatory things to get a reaction. It works. Every time. With most people getting so worked up over every last bit of dribble that comes out of his mouth. Whereas his voters are more focused on what his administration can actually DO for the country. As someone else said upthread, his voters are able to separate out the person from the policies.

I do feel generally that people have become far too emotional when it comes to politics - and this is exactly WHAT is pushing people towards the likes of Trump.

All I've heard since the result are the same cries of 'racist', 'fascist', 'misogynistic', 'transphobe' and 'who are the 'idiots' voting for him'; sentiments voiced on this very thread. But the fact IS the majority of Americans - including women, people of colour and LGBTQ - DID vote for Trump.

Rather than just calling those people names, I'd be interested in finding out exactly why they voted for someone who they 'know' (apparently) hates them.

I see the wider view as @DavidBeckhamsrightfoot has explained - essentially echo chambers etc. But I don't see how people commenting on a British forum in any way actually influenced the way people in america voted!

It's not about being a 'clueless liberal,' or 'voting for him means agreeing with everything Trump says.' If you were, for example, a man voting for Trump you are actively voting for laws that mean your wife/daughter could literally bleed to death or die of sepsis if they were having a miscarriage because until the foetus isn't medically viable the life they needed would now be illegal (see Josseli Barnica for the most recent example). Even if I agreed with literally everything else Trump said, I still couldn't vote for someone who had policies like that, nor could I respect/love someone who did. I have friends and family who voted the opposite way to me in Brexit/our recent elections and that's fine, but there's got to be a line.

No way could I!
I only like super virtuous guys who trawl the internet looking for opinions to be mad at.

No not at all i am not bullying anyone. I just think I could not be with anyone who thought a man saying that Liz chenney should be shot saying that kamala is mentally retarded , disgusting and the rest of the disgusting rhetoric he said is a great man to be president.
Like seriously the wannabe dictator nope I would seriously argue so much I would be so angry
I notice online dating people put if they are in the left or right

I watched you tube a giy has his trained like a dog it comes to him tries to take his food etc

Well not many people would have been voting in both the US and the UK would they, hardly a comparison.

Ha, the irony!

@Bixterret farage is a bullshitter that is what he does he lies big time he's like his mate Donald who has been fact checked since 2016 has told over 30000 lies

Why can't they see the truth

@Rain11

I’ll be really interested to see how the world peace part of that goes…

Both my husband and I would have voted Trump. I’m pleased he has won the election, it’s a great relief to me and I’m hopeful that he can balance politics which has been going too far left for my liking.

Interesting to see if he delivers what's on your list.

How about him personally, which is what I reacted to - he treats women like pieces of meat and doesn't seem to have any functioning morals.

What's your view on that?

I'm not bullying anyone

I'm genuinely curious how someone so apparently personally loathsome attracted so many women voters

No.
Politics are important to me. I'm left wing and would want a partner who was left wing.
My husband and I don't always agree on things regarding politics.. we did not agree on who should win the labour leadership for example..
But to so far apart in our political views would be untenable for me.
Maybe I'd be friends with someone who voted trump depending on their reasoning and how they were as a person. But there's absolutely no way I'd have ever even entertained having a meaningful romantic relationship with anyone who wasn't left wing. Life's hard enough. Making a marriage work is hard enough.. even without having massively opposing political views that you will be arguing about till you die.

Not for one moment. There is enough evidence of what he thinks of women and every other vulnerable group. I wouldn't want to look at a man who said he'd vote for that. Good luck to you.

They voted for Trump because that’s their right. He hasn’t slept with him - move on

I genuinely want to know, if you support Trump, would you also be happy to have a convicted rapist and felon as your boss, your child's teacher, your doctor?

Or is it only excusable when it's arguably the most powerful position on the planet?

Donald Trump's victory speech: Full transcript | CTV News
Here is the transcript of his victory speech.
I cannot fathom what he is actually planning to do in any concrete terms except stop illegals. Somehow. And Make America Great Again. I'm not sure what that means in concrete terms either.

No. Neither would I be with a Tory or Farage supporter. I don't really know anyone like that, and I'd imagine they wouldn't be fond of me.
I've a couple of 'mates' who are a little on the right wing side. It's not appealing to me as a belief system which seems very self centred. It doesn't make everyone who has some of those leanings horrible necessarily of course. But it helps. Lol
So I wouldn't be in a romantic relationship with someone like that.
