    I’ve been lucky enough to have some conversations with Trump voters and they have indeed said some dumb ass shit. But nothing unexpected, they’re all from fox n shit

    Sure, in a few cases. In others, it was more on the tune of:

    “I voted for Trump because he’s going to raise taxes on the poor so they pay their fair share”

    or

    “I voted for Trump because he promised to get rid of illegal immigrants. Just because there aren’t many in my state doesn’t mean they’re not CRIMINALS who should be removed at all costs!”

    or

    “I voted for Trump because he’s going to do some crazy stuff like leave the Paris Climate Agreement. This is going to be fucking entertaining and I’ll have my popcorn. People are gonna get PISSSSSED”

    or

    “I really don’t like Trump, but no politician is perfect and I’m willing to deal with Trump because he’s going to help us finally ban abortion”.

    Need I keep going? I blame them all.

        I’m not angry right now. I’m just telling it like it is to me.

        Please be careful not to think you read emotions into comments when they might not be there.

            It’s ok. It’s so common that companies teach classes on interpreting (or not over-interpreting) emotion into email. It’s one of multiple reasons people often get into heated arguments on the interrnet when they would not in person.
