When Did You Start Supporting Trump? Group High Five!

Hey everyone, haven't been around in a while. Taking care of dying Mom, cats, you know, things.

Trump won because the good guys win and everything is right in the world, here's the question.

When did you start supporting him?

I was on board the second he said he was in, like as soon as media outlets were saying he was entering the race I was there. I have had a great admiration of the man since I was little and I was like "this is the perfect man for the job today.".

So I thought it would be fun for all of us to reflect when we all knew that Donald Trump was the only man for this job and how grateful we are that he was able to overcome the unfair and unjust attacks on not only him but each and every supporter.

Let's go!

Trump supporters coming out of hiding now. Too bad he didnt get the popular vote.

As soon as he announced he was running.

*high five*

why is your mom dying?

It's not from the election lol

She has terminal cancer and cancer is funny because sometimes it's like "I'm just gonna chill, you just feel sick for a while" and other times it's like "HURRY YOU GOTTA DIE RIGHT NOW!". We're currently having the needle swing from chill to hurry.

So I don't have as much free time as I used to, hence me not posting here.

I do appreciate you asking though.

I can't lie. As a lifelong democrat it took awhile.

When it looked like he was making a point to cut the head off the SJW snake I was pretty much on board though.

One of the biggies was watching the kids set fires and beat people at rallys along with hoaxes like the Shirley Teeter thing.

That sealed the deal.

@Jaysonguy: I'm not much f a politician person but Trump wasn't my personal favorite but however, since he won, he's my President so I gotta deal with it. As long as President Trump doesn't screw up my paycheck, I'm okay whatever he does from this point on.

It's funny you said that became I was a lifelong Democrat too.

I started falling away from the party once they became the party of pandering.

I knew it was Cancer. my mom is in a late stage too. I'm sorry this is happening. but are you sure none can be done to save her? sorry about the off-topic but what is her diagnosis if you don't mind me asking.

I started supporting him when he was declared the winner of the presidential election. I didn't prefer him but I support him in the office of president and I hope his decisions move our country in a positive direction. I also hope he doesn't erase many of the positive impacts that have been made in the last decade. Marriage rights, greater acceptance of individuals, Scientific advancement, protection of the environment etc.

Genuine question. Do you support him because you agree with his policies or because were you just voting against the opposing party?

When I heard he was going to be at a multi-level marketing rally to endorse their product in 2015.

The problem isn't really the cancer, it's that because of the cancer her lungs are breaking down and are unable to absorb all the oxygen she needs. So she needs extra oxygen and that need keeps going higher and there's only so much that you can give and then, well, that's not good.

Don't worry about off topic stuff in my threads, I don't mind where conversations go as long as people aren't super jerks.

As soon as Wikileaks came out with the DNC sabotaging Bernie Sanders *High Five

Sorry to hear she's going through that. I hope she finds peace.

in such a dangerous state where the current medical establishment gives up on us, I'd give some other drugs a shot. I mean what's worse that dying of cancer. I'm currently trying to find a couple of drugs that might be relevant to your mom too. for an instance, I'm trying to find a source for Tetrathiomolybdate(TM). it is an copper chelator originally meant to treat Wilson disease. Tumors in general are highly dependant on copper for their angiogenesis. if you manage to bring down copper levels below normal levels, there is a chance that they stop growing or shrink to the maximum size they can grow without angiogenesis which is 2 to 3 milimeter. there are other things to help and make the process faster too. sorry for this weird and totally irrelevant comment again but it breaks my heart to see a cancer patient everytime i see or hear about one as i've been through this whole thing myself. i realize that it might be late but i personally never stop fighting.

I spent my entire life in terror of and being a bulwark against the coming conservative 1984-ish, newspeak, brave new world takeover of culture and media and vapid self serving sanctimonious moralists telling us all what to think and what words are acceptable to state those thoughts..... Then it happened.... AND IT CAME FROM MY GODDAMN SIDE!!!!!

We crushed the moral majority hypocrites into the ground and now it is the social justice warriors turn.

No thanks to self serving, self aggrandizing, empty headed moralists on either side. Whether you are screaming "sinner" or "hitler" nobody wants to hear it coming from a mob of dolts that can't think their way out of a wet paper sack.

The middle will always be defended because that is where most of us are.

I'm just glad I can go back to my comfort zone of watching the republicans like a hawk.

Congratulations you guys. Did not think this was going to happen but he pulled it off. I'll be crying over in the corner for a while, but I'll get over it. Probably.

Where is @joebones265 He must be crying a lot

Only after he was announced as President-elect. If he betrays my policy stances, that support will be quickly pulled.

As soon as Hillary got the nod to be democratic candidate.

I think that's fair a question, nothing to soften.

I agree with many of his policies but I also believe that he will put in people who will do the right things.

There is a lot of talk about "well he's never held office" and that's a misleading point. There is no job like the president, no matter who is chosen to be the president there is no prep course that allows you to be at full speed on day one. It comes down to surrounding yourself with people who can do their job.

There's a lot to be said about Trump's success and failure in business but that's how life works. He took advantage of loopholes that were there, he wasn't being a good businessman if he didn't take advantage of them. I also think that his ability to know that system (faults and all) allows him to institute more change because he knows that sector.

As for what he says? It doesn't bother me. I do find it highly suspicious that so many people came out about horrible things he did now. Now he's been in the public eye, I mean REALLY in the public eye for about 4 decades now. He's got money and fame and everyone who has accused him of things said to themselves "He's fine" but now with the election they say things? I don't know what happened in any of those cases but I do know that this strange timing made more people curious than anything else.

I appreciate both of your posts, thank you. It means a lot.

Never have. Still won't. Look forward to the one and done.

Wasn't a Trump supporter..just didn't want evil Hillary to win. :P

Pretty fair question.

An honest answer says it is a little of both or actually a lot of both. I disagree with Obama on many issues but I never felt hate for him like I do for the loser of the election. She always struck me as someone who thought her shit didn't stink yet wanted you think the opposite as if she can relate to us. Fake is an understatement to describe her. Trump might be a dick but he's forthcoming about it. He's filthy rich yet doesn't deny it. Some of his policies sound promising such as keeping out illegals and not granting amnesty, fixing the mess known as Obamacare (although on the surface it is a good idea), properly dealing with Syrian refugees and those coming in from the Middle East, nominating a pro 2A judge for the SCOTUS, etc.., What will happen is anyone's guess.

I dont have faith in people on podiums. I hate both Hilary and Trump. One side appeals to feelings over facts, the other to fear and racism. Neither side has said anything of use to me, other than illuminating their own stupidity, ignorance or hate. I took no faith in the GOP acting like spoiled children the last 8 years over anything Obama talked about, and I will not shed a tear for the Democrats when they bitch and moan about gerrymandering. Obama's first two years in office had a Dem majority in house and senate, and did they do anything about our absurd electoral system? nope.

I think a Trump presidency is pathetic, and will diminish the standing of our country greatly. Hilary does not deserve my tears or feelings.

I only supported him in that I'd say I'd pick him over Hillary. I'm not American so I don't have a reason to take it seriously. But what the hell? Where were all you Trump supporters before he won? It was like 9:1 of Hillary supporters here.

You know the election was still rigged right?!

You're not obliged to support anyone that gets elected into office. Blindly supporting someone you dislike is just crazy.

I also hope he doesn't erase many of the positive impacts that have been made in the last decade. Marriage rights, greater acceptance of individuals, Scientific advancement, protection of the environment etc.

You're living in silly land. Of course he will destroy all of that. Especially with a the republicans having control over the senate and congress. Still going to support him once he fucks over the LGBT, the environment, and minorities?

Last night, about 11 pacific.

Well, at least he's an Atheist, right? RIGHT?

Atheism is the admission of the obvious. Stalin was an athiest who believe a lot of dogmatic nonsense that killed millions upon millions. Kim Il Sung was an atheist, and believed the birds in Korea sang in korean during his swearing in. The problem with Trump is not really what he thinks, it is how he thinks.

What does that have to do with anything?

Religion is not THE problem. Dogmatic thinking is. And dogma can exist with or without religion. Being an atheist does not make you by default make you rational and sober-minded.

I don't support him per se, but I'm glad Hillary didn't get into power. She's a witch. Shit, if you believe the WikiLeaks emails in a certain light, she might even be an actual witch.

Trump has got a hell of a lot to prove over the next four years. But I'm guessing he won't ban Muslims, he won't build a wall, he won't do any of the grand things he said he would do, despite the Republicans owning the House and Senate.

I'm grabbing my popcorn and watching how he "makes deals" in politics though lol

As soon as Hillary, the DNC, the media, and super delegates stole the election from Bernie

While I voted for Jill Stein knowing Trump had a good chance of winning, I am relieved to see her out. I will support Trump from here on out, and I will scrutinize him if he makes decisions I do not agree with.

I have faith that Trump will protect our civil rights, like he has in the past by being vocal about it. My greatest worry is the economy and our foreign policy.
