re: So What Is Everyone So Afraid Of?

Honestly, I'm not a Trump supporter, I also get why Hillary didn't win, people are tired of the politicians (and she's a career politician). It really was time for a change because people are tired of nothing getting done... I think a lot of people are just stuck on the fact that it's "this dude", he is just a little more in your face than some people like, and I think a lot of them feel he doesn't represent the face of the country as a whole. In the beginning his dismissive attitude turned a lot of people off, it's hard to look at his policies when you feel like he said I do need you anyway, si a lot of people said f u too. I don't think people are really scared, I just think people are sitting here thinking why did America chose him? Could have been any other Republican candidate and they would have probably beat Hillary... Why did it have to be this a-hole?

The problem is: The Left has proven they will paint ANYONE on the right as something offensive. Mitt Romney was maybe the most inoffensive candidate of all time, great credentials, business acumen, moderate platform. And look what they did. He isn't a great conservative pick, but he was good for the time.

That's the problem. No matter who the right chooses they con everyone into thinking the worst every time. I honestly think it was Trump's aggressive "don't care" attitude that let him cut through that for the Rust Belt and other groups.

If the Left would stop that approach they might garner more respect from me.

It had to be this a-hole, because everyone on the right is an a-hole. I was behind Rand, and there are a lot of people saying "Anyone other than Trump would have beat Hillary more so," and I HIGHLY doubt that. There's no way to politely beat the Left's emotional use of the media imo.
