I've heard people ask "How can decent people vote for Trump?" I have the answer:

[Atticus]

DECENT people don't.

You may now smack your forehead and say "Of COURSE!"

[TwilightZone]

1. 40 years of GOP propaganda

Some of them really believe that any Democrat would be worse than any Republican.

[fierywoman]

3. Also 40 years of under- and de-funding public education.

[TwilightZone]

4. Yep.

Trump loves the poorly educated. So does the rest of the GOP.

[StClone]

6. Nixon, Reagan, Bush II, to Trump

Dangerous rot, incompetence, and waste all so the Ultra wealthy can ease their minds they've acquired the vanities they seek. For one Koch death was the only thing that stopped him.

[unblock]

8. some of them really believe that any democrat is as bad as isis.

40 years of brainwashing indeed.

they may have been decent people at some point, and they may yet be decent, but as long as they're content to stay in the grips of right-wing b.s., they're not decent people at all.

[TwilightZone]

9. And so much of it is so transparent.

But they buy it because they think it tells them what they want to hear.

[unblock]

12. yeah, democrats want to get everyone healthcare is the same as terrorists wanting to behead you.

because foxnews says so and that's that.

[CatMor]

2. Right on ... decent and trump don't go together.

[Eliot Rosewater]

5. Friend in Sacramento CALIFORNIA, for fuck sake, told her about the blue dots on homes in

Roseville CA of Biden supporters, so when it is over the gestapo can attack those people.

Anyway she says on her block in GOD DAMN Sacramento CALIFORNIA there are 9 houses with signs, 5 Biden and 4 Traitor.

Sure nice to see the 5-4 win I guess, but this pisses me off. Those people are enemies of the NATION AND HUMAN RACE.

[The Magistrate]

7. Exactly, Sir

That is how you tell. Someone who votes for this cheapo thug is not a decent person.


“Historians have a word for Germans who joined the Nazi party, not because they hated Jews, but out of a hope for restored patriotism, or a sense of economic anxiety, or a hope to preserve their religious values, or dislike of their opponents, or raw political opportunism, or convenience, or ignorance, or greed.


That word is "Nazi." Nobody cares about their motives anymore.”

[Atticus]

19. I suppose future historians will term those who supported Trump for those reasons

something sterile like "Trumpists", but "MAGAts" will always seem more appropriate to me.

[The Magistrate]

21. 'Red-Hat Maggots', Sir, Is My Prefered Usage

They are a blight upon the country.

[Meowmee]

10. Exactly

[samsingh]

11. i agree. No one who voted for traitor trump is decent

we can never forgive these people who care nothing about democracy, integrity, and humanity.

[J_William_Ryan]

13. There's

a great deal of fear, ignorance, and hate in America – and it’s voting for Trump.

[Boogiemack]

14. Nail, meet hammer! nt

[Shermann]

15. No TRUE decent person would vote for Trump

A little logical fallacy humor there.

[Atticus]

18. As a Scot, I resemble that! nt

[mtnsnake]

16. There are a few decent ones

I have met a few decent people who support the Monster, but mostly because they are simply ignorant of the facts or they have been brainwashed by a best friend or relative or Fox news. For the most part, though, the Trump supporters I have met or known are greedy self-serving assholes with no decent bone in their body.

[blueinredohio]

20. My daughter has been brain washed by her husband.

I didn't ask because I really didn't want to know but from the way she talks she voted for the asshole. And she's laid off right now. She was NOT raised this way.

[Clearly fogged in]

17. are the upper echelons becoming outsiders so soon?

rats with lifeboats

[Silent3]

22. I *suppose* a person might just be stupid and monumentally ignorant/misinformed...

...but that's a stretch.

[SMC22307]

23. Ridiculous broadbrush. A family member is a decent guy...

good husband and father, commutes almost 3 hours a day, works hard, served in military, put two kids through college, takes in stray cats, etc. He doesn't pay attention to news and thinks Trump is good for the economy.

[Atticus]

24. Decent people pay attention.

[SMC22307]

25. So judgmental.

People *love* that.

[Atticus]

26. It is definitely my judgment that anyone who STILL votes for Trump EITHER has their

head up their wazoo OR they are cut from the same soiled cloth as he is.

Either option is outside my definition of decent.
