(9,114 posts)If I'd been a supporter of his. So it's tough to put myself in their shoes. My acceptance of them is predicated on their rejection of him. I just can't see where they could possibly have been coming from, in their support for him.
How can little cartoon hearts continue to have floated up from their heads, about that orange freak, after every freak outrageous violent crooked nazi move he's made?
If one of them said 'I supported him, and I was wrong', I'd listen to them. I don't want to hear about how they were justified in doing so. If they want to talk about how they can put the orange nazi toothpaste back into the tube, that's a good basis for friendly interactions.
But I did recently find out one co-worker who is just a great seeming person, nice, good worker, smart, kind, etc. was a tRump supporter. She was pretty much the nicest person on the jobsite.
I didn't ride her about it, but it completely blew me away that she was there, politically. I'd never talked to her about politics, but had told a couple of the bulkier trump humps where to get off, openly, so the whole site knew where I was coming from, politically. And it had never affected the good interactions I had with her. I'd just always assumed she was on the good side, just based on our incidental work related interactions.
Even Liz Warren, who I love, was a republican back in the Iran Contra days. I just can't figure out what she could have possibly been looking at in the GOP that would have made her be in it, in the '80's, or stay in it through Iran Contra. That being said, I'd back her for President now. She doesn't seem like someone who would plunk down on a return to raygun scumbaggery and treasonous felonies, she's openly pushing against that freak Mulvaney's dismantling the CFPB.
