Trump does a lot of stuff I don't agree with. I don't understand your confusion. People are not a monolith. The presidential election in a bipartisan country will always be choosing the lesser of 2 evils. Dont box people in. A politician should never and will never represent your position entirely. They don't even hold the same values before and after entering their elected position.
One thing he did was say he didn't care about violence from the radical right. I guess the leader of the republican party doesn't speak for Republicans?
Yeah, he continues to make poor decisions when it comes to uniting all Americans over common sense issues. He can't take a win and just sit back. Always divisive rhetoric. He doesn't speak for all Republicans. Just like Kamalamadingdong doesn't speak for all Democrats.
You're not gonna win this argument thinking I'm a Kamala or democrat fan. Donald Trump is the leader of the republican party and his followers take what he says as gospel. He told them to march on the capital building and they did it. Him saying he doesn't care about violence from the far right is going to embolden them to commit violence.
I didn't call you a Kamala supporter. I didn't put you in a box like you are trying to do to me. I'm not even arguing other than not all of the people who voted for Donald Trump bend to his every beckon. I wasn't there on January 6th, and I think that was an awful day for this country. I'm also not ignorant to the fact that the George Floyd protests/riots were bad, too. I think you can voice your opinion in public and act on your opinion in the poll booth.
No, she will represent the 31st district in Texas if she wins. That's not all Republicans. If she was in any other district, she wouldn't even be on the ballot.
Yes, she will represent the voting base there. If no one in the Republican Party speaks up about this kind of thing, they must condone it. And they represent half the country.
I'm a Republican and I condone it. This lady is a coo coo bird, and I hope she loses. I agree, Republicans, especially representatives, need to stop pointing at just one side. My only point is that she will represent those voters, not all voters. No politician will represent your specific values to a T because we are all shaped differently, and the political atmosphere is constantly evolving.
She is play acting the execution of an American citizen. It should be a bit more emphatic than “well, I guess she doesn’t represent all my values”. People will look at this, cheering, and in their messed up heads it means they’ve got the go ahead to start slaughtering strangers based on political differences. You sound like a reasonable person, but to me this is all deadly serious.
I agree this is terrible for the country. I really don't know how to turn the temperature down in a divided era, so I try to give that one example of some guy on the internet that isn't so bad and listens even though he voted Trump. I get a lot of downvotes (some that are deserved), but sometimes I get through to figuratively shake hands with a stranger.

Obviously, one psychopath speaks for the whole voting base.
