Not sure how the question is even close to how you think if it. You make it sound like if you can't support Trump you have NO other options. That it's so dire and such a horrible decision it's akin to having to chose which appendage to cut off.You can't ask a question in a vacuum. That is why you aren't getting the answer you want.
What your asking is, why would a person cut their arm off? You are not acknowledging that the only choices are amputate your arm or your leg. You have to pick, it's not an open ended question and you can't bow out. You keep getting upset when people say they support him because X,Y or Z is worse as if their support is happening in a vacuum.
I'd say 90 percent of the people I know who support Trump don't like him, they just hate the establishment and career politicians more than they dislike the bad things he does and has done. So to answer your un-answerable question, I don't support him but I like when he upsets the establishment and I support any actions he takes that accomplishes that end. It's like hiring a morally bankrupt mercenary to kill bad people. It takes that type of person to do that type of work. A good person cannot do what is needed to break the establishment.
If you are actually being unbiased and paying attention you cannot deny the evidence that the establishment is doing everything they can to get Trump out of the way. The FBI committed treason before Trump even took office. That isn't a conspiracy, it's a verified fact. It's absurd to act like none of that is happening and get angry when people use that as a logical point to argue their support.
To be transparent, I didn't vote for Trump in either election. I have voted for the Libertarian candidate in every election I've voted in.
How about thinking it as not having to cut off an arm or a leg
I also have voted Libertarian in every election...except the last one. I regret not voting it again.
You obviously don't follow Politics. Joe Manchin and another Democrat refused to vote for Build back better and were actually threatened with physical violence and had their party affiliation called into question by the White House Press Secretary. It happens on both sides, your bias and mine just help us forget.
I do recall this and feel it is slightly different. They didn't vote for a certain spending bill, not talking against an individual. I know it still happens on the left some...but not near the extent as t
It does against Trump. He will turn on anyone on a dime if they go against his wishes....and his followers will go along with his stance on an individual.
Not at all. I said that in response to the comparison of "Flip it to the democrats" democrats will support the party and lesser liked candidates if that's what they get....where as I feel the Trump supporters would almost rather die (or cut off their arm or leg 😃) then support the other Republican candidates if Trump loses.....which of course would be a rigged election a d allAre you saying it is not important to back a candidate you believe in when the rest of the party might not reflect the same ideals as the candidate you support? Just because they are R or D doesn't mean I need to back the whole party. I like Mike Lee and don't care for Mitt Romney I liked Tulsi Gabbard don't care for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Im not going to back a whole party just because of few people I think have a good direction in that party.
