He’s gonna win.
Post from another board from a lad who lives over there:
I don’t like them. I disagree with them fundamentally. I resent them. I’d go as far to say I fucking hate a lot of them.
However:
They’ll tell you they support him on immigration. Even Harris has intimated she’ll continue with “the wall”.
Christians (an absolutely massive swathe of the country) overlook his moral redundancy because many of them are single issue voters – abortion. I friend of mine – one of the sweetest guys I know – told me this just last week over a few beers.
Jews will tell you they feel he’s a stronger ally to Israel than Harris; who they identify with The Squad, would be. Again, this is millions of people.
Others will reference culture war issues they feel the left has gone too far on. Trans athletes in sports, for instance.
Some see Harris as a continuation of this administration and cite that their lives haven’t got better in the last four years. They’re gaining support among the black vote for that. Black voters feel their vote has been taken for granted. And promises have been broken by the democrats.
Anecdotally, it’s being reported black men have taken a liking to him, remarkably, because they feel he’s been persecuted by the law in similar ways they have.
Gen Z men are overwhelmingly supporters of him. If I had to suggest their reasoning, maybe because they’ve grown up at a time when feminism has become mainstream in schools and in the culture, where traditional norms of masculinity are considered toxic and there’s affirmative action towards greater equality. They don’t feel like there’s as much down for them. You see this in a lot of that Proud Boys shit and the episode Louis Theroux did on the young conservative celebrities is hugely enlightening. They see an ally in a cunt like Trump.
Cuban immigrants (who make up a large section of the population where I live) who remember Castro’s communism or passed that message down to their kids think the democrats are verging too close to socialism. To us as Brits, that’s ludicrous because even the democrats are to the economic right of the Tories on the idea of socialism. However, the Cubans are overwhelmingly supportive of Trump.
Law enforcement see democrats talking about defunding the police. They see Trump talking about giving them a stronger hand.
The list of reasons people will give are exhaustive and exhausting. I disagree with almost all of them and don’t find them to be rational or substantive in my mind, but it doesn’t make those people thick or megalomaniacs.
It sometimes makes them cunts. Not always. The mistake we continue to make on the left is dismissing them all as thick and not worthy of engaging with. That does nothing but further entrench them in their positions. Hillary Clinton did nothing to speak to their really valid concerns in 2016. She called them “deplorables” and got fucking thumped in the electoral college.
There sure are plenty of thick cunts on the left too, who have plenty of idealism but no sense of reality for how things work, get done, or are paid for. Or how and where elections are won. You’ll find loads of them in that Jeremy Corbyn thread on here, for instance.
Anyway; in short. Are there thick Trump voters? Yes. Are they all thick? Far from it.
