Support whom you’d like, but stop insinuating that Trump supporters are all rednecks with the intellect of a child. I voted for Trump in 2016 as a vote against Hillary. I voted for him in 2020 because I thought he did a really good job in his first term, and it was pretty obvious that Biden was incompetent. I’ll vote for him in 2024 because if you’re satisfied with the direction of the country under Biden and Democrats, I can’t comprehend how your mind works.

I recognize the difference between casting a vote for your party’s candidate on Election Day, and being a supporter of said candidate.

There is also a difference between how certain policy initiatives affect the short term direction of the country, and the potential disastrous consequences of a deranged narcissist.

Let’s be clear, a petulant child throwing a tantrum because he could accept he lost an election and encouraging his “supporters” to riot against the seat of our government is a threat to democracy. If Trump had pledged every dollar he had to fighting to overturn the results of the election in court, then so be it. But that’s not what happened.
