Trump supporters are so vile to me that I could not stand to be in their presence for a second. I would have a very hard time being civil to them in the least. They represent the most reprehensible part of this country that I would cut off like a diseased limb. And what ever terrible things happen to them I am hardly sympathetic.
The reason I am so pissed is that the fruition of the policies they love and support is so deadly. It is little better than Nazism or Hitlerism. We only cannot see what hidden evil is on their secret agenda were they to have power.
Trump has unleashed a level of hatred and division in this country that will be around for along time. And with Hillary as president the hatred and bile from that group will eclipse what Obama has had to suffer.

(26,241 posts)One was a co-worker and I am thrilled that I will hopefully never see her again. And two of my cousins that I have pretty much cut out of my life.
Another was my Aunt's niece by marriage. This niece knows me and knows my politics. When we were emailing back and forth, during my Aunt's decline, she had the never to includ my email in a group of tea bagger nut jobs that she heads up, and I started getting all kinds of horrific emails. I told her in no uncertain terms to take my email out of that group. She was "shocked" that I wouldn't want to participate in some "constructive political dialog" with other minded people.
The day my aunt died, after a prolonged illness, I was at the assisted living facility cleaning out her room, exhausted after several nights of no sleep. This person purposely showed wearing a Trump for President pin. A YUGE Trump for President pin. Yea, she didn't even have enough respect for my grief to take that freaking piece of junk off, before she walked into the room.
I chose to just ignore it. My other option probably would have ended badly.

(1,383 posts)I have way, WAY too many of them on facebook. I despise their politics, worldview, and religion. I am having a terrible time reconciling that these are the people I grew up with and considered close friends at one time. No more. The line was crossed about 1 week into Obama's first term.
I propose a "civil" Civil War. Let's divide the country, split the assets and debt, split the nuclear arsenal and hardware, give huge tax incentives for relocation and let us be done with it. I often try to imagine a country run with just libertarians/conservative/christian dominionism as the head of power. Terrifying.

(2,902 posts)They obviously support him since they proved it on the record. They went on the record with their support. It has been proven. You can't say otherwise.

My post, however, is anecdotal, not definitive.

(34,582 posts)he was going on about how the media is being so unfair to tRump. I asked "How? By reporting the words that come out of his mouth?" Several other people laughed, so he wasn't up for a come back.

(82,383 posts)who would support him. I am OK with the Republicans who aren't. They aren't the extremists.
