5 former Dems voted for Trump. A year later, what do they think?

[Jhhnn]

"Thinking" isn't a good way to describe what was going through their minds when they voted for Trump & it still isn't today.

 

[TheVrolok]

I think they're deserving of pity.

In a lot of ways this represents me. I'm for a lot of leftist / Dem ideals, but then I realized just how far they've strayed from common sense in so many ways. I didn't vote for Trump, but I do realize now how he really was the right choice. What do you think of the opinions in this video?

Now you sound like Geosurface.

Out of 300 million its probably not hard to 5 deluded ignorant stupid desperate people.

Donald found 62 million just a short while ago, didnt he?

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

LOL, the op's attempts at gaslighting... fucking pathetic.

There's no need to repeat your lie, we heard it the first time. Literally no one believes the gun fanatic who thinks white people are the true victims of racism was going to vote for Clinton over the gun-humping white nationalist.



You don't honestly believe that I give a single shit as to what someone like you thinks about my integrity, do you? You're a dishonest, dumb, irrational, and stubborn man-child. I would take cues on self-improvement from a fortune cookie before I took them from you.

You make false assumptions about me (even after I've clearly explained my position) and attack me based on those assumptions. Another rant from you over a caricature of reality that doesn't even exist.

Look, we both know you’re not a terribly honest person. From your posts here the two things you seem to care about most in regards to politics are gun rights and white nationalism. It’s simply not credible to claim that you were supporting someone with a longstanding desire to enact gun control and expand opportunities for minorities.

If you were someone who wasn’t already a known liar then maybe some people here would believe you. Sadly, you are.

Like I said, you have me all wrong and are ranting about someone that isn't me. I care a lot about gun rights, that's the only part of your reply that has any truth to it.

Whatever you need to tell yourself, haha. You are a terrible liar.

No, you do have a pretty consistent history of lying, or at least trying to tell people that shit doesn't stink when all the evidence contradicts you.

For example: "Trump isn't anti-LGBT," even though all his LGBT-related moves have involved stripping protections, enabling discrimination (often under the guise of "religious freedom") and attempting bans. Anyone who actually respects evidence-based reasoning can see he's anti-LGBT. But hey, because he let Caitlyn Jenner use the washroom of her choice once, he's practically Harvey Milk as far as you're concerned!

I don't think LGBT's are with less rights today than they had before. I disagreed with the trans ban in the military having seen the data that was available at the time, I don't think the pennies saved were worth such a divisive move. That being said, maybe there is more to it I (and you) are not privy to. The left is in full panic and butt hurt mode, making mountains out of molehills.

The administration explicitly removed protections for LGBT people in schools and federally-funded health care programs. It ended an interpretation of the Civil Rights Act that protected against gender identity discrimination. And of course, it's granting more power to companies to discriminate against LGBT people. This also excludes the administration's decision to drop support for LGBT rights efforts abroad.

They are losing rights. Stop being such a coward and acknowledge it.

Explain how these were "rights".

It's like a dumber version of tajjy, and I thought that would be biologically impossible.

Seriously. He’s the one that brought up rights to begin with. Originally it was just that Trump was anti-LGBT, which those examples obviously showed.

The dumbness on display here is just unbelievable.

 

[Commodus]

The right to not face discrimination based on gender, to be able to use the same services as others without being treated like a second-class citizen? It's not that hard. Also, what part of Civil Rights Act do you not understand?

Look, we all know the stunt you're trying to pull: whenever someone calls you out on your bullshit, you try to use narrowly-defined semantics to weasel out of having to accept the truth. Don't want to admit that Trump is hurting the LGBT community? Pretend that actions clearly intended to discriminate against LGBT people aren't actually discriminatory.

I guess he's trying to emulate his hero Trump.
