Getting into discussions or arguments with people who think you supporting Trump is stupid because of A, B, C or D don't realize that we can see from a higher perspective. Let me give you an example.
Me: So have you been paying attention to the election?
Friend: Yeah, I've been trolling Trump supporters on Twitter and Facebook so hard.
Me: I'm a Trump supporter.
Friend: Sucks to be you.
Me: Why is that?
Friend: Because he's a liar and a racist and a sexist.
Here's where I shake my head and discontinue the discussion because their response has been conditioned by the media. ALL media. Not just the "news" but pop culture, magazines, movies, ads, newspapers etc and they all SAY THE SAME THING. So he was regurgitating whatever has been mass fed to him without having anything factual to back it up. Its always the same thing taken out of context. "Trump hates veterans!" "Trump called Mexicans animals, he's racist!" "Trump is a sexist". None of them want to hear about what he's actually done for this country. The list is overwhelmingly long, let me tell you. He may not be likable, but he's kicking ass ans taking names and he's not backing down from the fight, like every other career politician, because he's NOT a politician.
At the beginning of this year I was of the same mindset, except for me it was bias. I never liked the guy. From his days of The Apprentice I didn't like him. To me he stood for all that was terrible about corporate America, so I dismissed everything about him, good or bad because I didn't want to hear it. Then I actually started doing research and come to find out this old man has been fighting tirelessly, night and day for our freedoms. I know the Trump haters cannot even fathom thats the case, but its not even an opinion, its FUCKING FACT.
If people only knew how easy it was for media to gaslight and manipulate them their anger for Trump would easily be directed to the responsible parties.
Trump isn't the problem people. I know that's a hard one to swallow for some but I dont fucking care. Do some objective, non biased research before you start reacting emotionally from your ego when in reality you don't even understand your own psychology.
