In another forum, there's a whiner that she's new in town and being ostracized by the other women in the office because she voted for Trump. Other posters have come to rescue, stating that those horrible liberals just can't accept that some others might have a political difference or that someone else voted for someone besides Hillary.
Arrrrrgggghhh! I'm so sick and tired of Trumpers trying to present themselves as normal conservatives, being persecuted by horrible, hateful liberals.
Am I crazy, or is it not true that Trump is DIFFERENT! When I meet a Trumper, that's not a moderate conservative who might be a decent person and who actually might agree with me on a couple of issues. Someone I could be friends with, actually. A Trumper is different. They voted for a person who called a hispanic citizen "Miss Housekeeping," bragged about grabbing women in their genital areas, made fun of a disabled reporter, has lied to the public numerous times, has a precarious mental state ranging from rage to bizarre humor in a matter of minutes. A person that pretty much the whole world (except Trumpers and Russia) has agreed is unfit for office and possibly dangerous. A person whose own party members have spoken out against him. A person about whom all former Presidents have made historical comments about, warning about the danger he poses.
No...this one is different. This is not simply a political difference, like disagreeing how Medicaid should work or how much we should contribute to the CHIPS program. Someone actually voted for a person endorsed by David Duke and white supremacists (who Trump did not immediately and strongly reject)? Seriously?
I know you're the choir, but really, isn't this a fact? That Trump is something different? This is how I see it. I could never be friends with a Trumper. Either they are aligned with Trump, are batsh*t crazy, or are so uninformed & stupid that they are just unaware of all that he is doing.

(26,267 posts)I had many reasons to take an early retirement, but one of the biggest was to no longer have to deal with a trump* obsessed co-worker. She is pretty much of an obnoxious, self obsessed narcissist, too, and it was bad enough being around her when President Obama was in the White House.
I have two cousins who are big time trump* supporters, and the only time I see them, now, is at funerals.

(82,849 posts)"Maybe it's not persecution; maybe those people dislike you (the Trump supporter) because you're supporting . . ." then fill in the egregious behavior of your choice, whether it's the misogyny, the bullying, the Nazi sympathizing or what have you.

You handed our country over to a racist, misogynistic, traitorous child. STFU !

(36 posts)I could careless anymore about Republitards and angry with ignorant racist homophobes who call themselves EVANGELICALS! People who I considered friends and mentors were VIOLENTLY ENRAGED when I criticized their choice of this DUMB FUCK MORON DTRUMPF for pRresident. I had a very good friendly relationship and truly considered two of them in my inner circle of family until I called out what DTRUMPF really is. Now I do not acknowledge nor talk with them even when I am greeted by on my early morning walks with my dogs. I can not analyze how people were converted into MORONs themselves. I believe this sickening ignorance occurred with Hitler's Germany. It's amazing that dumb fuck morons DTRUMPF base continue to view the world with their shallow acceptance of different people and cultures. I can not comprehend this phenomena! So I decided to be against them and to vocally resist their mentality and homophobia racist agenda. I am now part of the RESISTANCE!

Resist. Don't let them get away with pretending he's normal, they're normal, but we just don't like conservatives.
