Perfect example of the stuff I was talking about earlier. They dont wanna be called ignorant, sexist, bigots, (even tho they clearly are) so they make up some mundane reason they voted for Trump.
His reasoning in this video only sounds faire to uninformed foreigners, on the outside looking in. But thats all a wash when you point out that the party he's voting for are the ones that shot down a bill to regulate how much these companies can mark up goods. That, "only get $700" line was a complete made up fake news online, that republicans used as a smear campaign. Also one of the major reasons why FEMA was struggling is because Trump & republicans (the party they're voting for again) cut funding to it.
Lastly its the tranny stuff yall said I was over playing.
We're not gonna sit up here and act like Trump didn't use fear of transgenders as a main political issue in this campaign. Cultural issues will always be a part of national politics.
They had me feeling like I was crazy & was the only one who saw this. I've entertained discussions with a few Trumpers in the months leading up to the election and those fake news stories legitimately, worked. They would find these stories to be outraged about to justify their bullshit reason to not vote for Kamala, even when I could easily prove that they were false.
Weeding through their bullshit reasons in person and online, it eventually became clear Trump got their vote for 3 reasons.
One, they thought having a woman president made our country look weak, and would rant about how she'd probably start crying, ect and how tough Trump is.
Two, their hate for immigrants, especially anyone seen as a migrant became crystal clear. They really loved that fake story about the gangs in Aurora. Even if you showed evidence that it was fake, they'd pivot to some other thing about them somewhere else, and claim they're taking over and taking jobs. I mean, you can see examples on this board in that thread.
Three, their hate for trans people & what they feel is the constant mentioning of them. And its always the same talking point too. "Yea I dont like all this tranny shit in schools. Its not right underage kids can be allowed to take all those weird drugs. I dont want that shit around my kids."
