I am genuinely curious how someone like him gets into office. I don't mean from just any single stance, but all of them put together.
He claims to be a businessman first but he's never really had anything that was successful because of him and has bankrupted multiple companies even after getting 'a small million dollar loan'.
He's an absolute scumbag of a person from the comments he makes about 'shithole countries' to casually boasting about being able to get away with sexual assault due to being rich and famous.
He's horribly unqualified for the position (he's a failed businessman and terrible reality TV show host) who has been very reasonably targeted for outsider tampering and all sorts of corruption to the point he's been firing anyone who might get dirt on him. Oh, and he disrespects every foreign government except putin (have you SEEN the ignorance he shows when on stage with other world leaders?)
He demonstrably lies more often than he tells the truth. Not only that but he goes from one lie or scandal to the next without even addressing the last one. On top of that he's got massively thin skin and the maturity level of a 12-year old Twitch streamer who just got told to go to bed by his mommy.
And people voted him in knowing most or all of this. How dumb do people have to be that they vote trump in 'to own the libtard cucks'? Yes, many people hate trump but we don't hate him because he's a republican we hate him because he's woefully unfit for office and has no place in a position of power. he's actively regressing your nation, walking back progress from the last few years while actively targetting groups all while utilizing fearmongering and faulty rhetoric.
So could someone please tell me why he got voted in despite all this? I don't care how many people he convinced to vote for him, the fact of the matter is that he's unfit and there really needs to be an additional step to democracy. Impeachment is a step in the right direction but it seems Democrats are pretty incapable of enacting it; I mean, Republicans impeached Clinton over an affair despite him getting the US out of a rut and giving them their greatest surplus maybe ever! I hate turning this into a cartoon, but Trump is a supervillain, and republicans need to be stopped. There are more important things in this world than 'merry christmas and guns'. That's why I tend to vote Democrat/Liberal - that party cares about the greater good, not indulging the selfish. |
"he's actively regressing your nation, walking back progress from the last few years".
To a Conservative, what you just said was, 'he's actively hitting the brakes, because you were inches from the edge of a cliff, and has now reversed a few car lengths to provide a little comfort." That is why they voted for him.
Today, what Liberals call 'progress', Conservatives call 'dangerous', and what Conservatives call 'progress', Liberals call 'dangerous'. Both sides are convinced they are correct, and neither side is completely correct, so it's no wonder why it's such a big problem. In a world where many are told their special and should put themselves first and can be anything they want to be and can change the world, your going to end up with problems because the world itself doesn't work like that. The world requires boundaries, whether they be for one's Country or for one's body. When people begin to realize it's not about trying to control the entire Country, but just your little slice of it, they will end up much better off. Smaller more divided Gov between all of the States themselves and less centralized Gov would make a big difference, like it's supposed to be.
Why do you think Europe is full of a bunch of unique tiny Countries? Why does it look like the more they try to converge, the more tension seems to be created? Enough that the UK clearly wants out, and their not the only ones. Centralization is like binge drinking. As long as it's controlled, It's not a bad idea here and there but it cannot be sustained or it eventually leads to disaster. In small doses, it's not a problem and sometimes could be said to be 'necessary', but the rest of the time having a few drinks here and there is the sustainable way. Forcing everyone else to binge drink on the regular, isn't much different than instating prohibition. Let smaller 'communities' decide for themselves. Find a community that fits you best and learn to live with the bad along with the good wherever you end up, and stop chasing perfection, because you'll never find it.
I realize it's not really an answer about Trump, but that's because Trump, nor any other politician is the answer itself that everyone is looking for. Trump just looked to be someone who could maybe take the Country in the direction where this could be achieved, and while he looks to be trying, obviously some think 'resistance is futile'.
