I am 50 years old which puts me in the early part of Gen X. Trump isn't as popular among my generation as he is among Boomers but he does have a decent amount of support from us. I went to school in a small town in upstate NY and am still in Facebook contact with most of the 100 people in my graduating class. I can tell from that who are Trump supporters and who aren't. The Trump supporters are almost all from the dumber half. They are the same people who spent their formative years partying instead of studying - it is basically the "no fat chicks T shirt" hair metal crowd from high school. They will follow him anywhere because they never developed critical thinking skills.
Everything is not treated across the board in the same manner. I'm not a Trumper and no Trumper would not agree with one on much of anything, but liberals don't seem to get it when it comes to applying force where force is necessary. Even then it must be done in the correct way, in a manner that makes sense and is not done just for show.
Oh yeah almost forgot. I don't agree with liberals on much of anything either.
Liberals do get it. It is ok for a Republican president to "apply force when necessary" and if you disagree you are being unpatriotic, but when Obama went after terrorists with precision strikes, he was OMG "killing innocent people."
For some reason the hundreds of thousands of deaths Cheney and Bush were responsible for didn't matter either. It was defended by Republicans as collateral damage. Trump supporters will not care how many Trump kills. The GOP used "force when necessary" and got us into never ending wars.
Basically the complete opposite of ANYTHING is what many Trump followers believe in.
That can change from minute to minute based on what they perceive that Trump says, does or wants.
Most everything Trump claimed to do is false...and when reality hits, his base just changes on a dime. After all, once you sell out a few times then there is no difference in continuing.
The biggest issues facing the USA.....money wise, happiness, general welfare, etc
1. Health Care - millions have been thrown off, prices are going up and Trump has no plan except "it's hard" so he won't do it.
2. Debt and Deficit - his base likes Corporations to have more money. AT&T is getting 42 BILLION in free money and they are, as we speak, using American employees by the thousands to train offshore firms that will replace the American employees.
3. Manufacturing is doing horribly.
4. He has absolutely no plan to take our troops out of harms way or to save us money we are spending occupying the known world. He lashes out.....instead. Gives NK some hugs then says he will talk to the Taliban, but cancels because they call him names....as if that is more important than saving a Mothers Son or Daughter. Tough man...don't call him a name or he will put more Americans in harms way for a longer time.
The die is largely cast now. Even if Trump loses re-election the world and country have been ruined for many years...perhaps many decades. Adding the Trump years to the GWB years is just too much for our system to handle.
But, hey, I got a tax break (I'm told...didn't notice, frankly).
Basically the complete opposite of ANYTHING is what many Trump followers believe in.
But it's you refusing to acknowledge Obama/Biden's wars of choice against Yemen, Libya & Syria and the Afghan Surge. Why are you silent over these horrible wars that got 10s of 1000s killed?
These are the times that his dishonesty matter. If he didn’t lie so much many would rally behind him but giben his dishonesty this looks like a stunt to change the media narrative
