If you support Donald Trump and vote for him despite all the overwhelming evidence that he is insanely dangerous for the country and the world because you are a good "loyal" Republican you are JUST LIKE HIM AND THE DEPLORABLES. Your vote means that you really support what he is and you support what ever he will do.
The Germans supported Hitler no matter what he did. They were "good Germans". They supported the fatherland. When you are faced with madness and absolute evil and you support it you really are no better.

(21,131 posts)I left the room while he was talking with him on the phone. I could hear my husband talking very loudly to him. Went our bedroom to watch tv and he was still talking with him when I went to bed. Usually his phone calls are 15 minutes max, this one went on for an over an hour.

(21,131 posts)He is concerned that Hillary will start a war with Russia and that''s his main reason for the Cheeto support. My husband had a civil discussion with but told him it was the right wing in this country who started aggression against Russia as a backlash to FDR and the new deal. And the right wing supports Cheeto who is owned by via debt to the Russian olligarchs. His friend didn't know about the money Cheeto owes to Russia. We shall see.

(21,131 posts)I overheard my hubby tell him that Cheeto is a sleazy businessman who has stiffed people working for him, he reminded him of the bankruptcies and then told him about Cheetos sexual harassment and relayed a story of how I used to get sexually harassed all the time when I work in investment banking when I was younger and how it upset me. I think he is wearing him down!

One of my 20 something coworkers asked me what I thought of the Trump tape being a hoax. I asked him if he read it at infowars. He made the big mistake of saying yes. I saw the guys in the back of the truck wince and shake their heads (they knew what was coming) in the rear view mirror, and then I lost my shit. I don't have a lot of patience for stupid anymore....

(21,131 posts)But it''s an friend and I am enjoying overhearing bits of the conversation. My hubby likes to read these history and politicial books. He's sounding like a history professor now with his friend.
I couldn't believe I heard Cheeto talk like Alex Jones yesterday. Those websites are for crazy people. You also have patience to talk with your co worker. I would have gotten up and walked away the moment he mentioned info wars and supporting Cheeto.

(11,795 posts)But I did make him Google Obama/Clinton demon. Once he read the article about Alex Jones claiming Hillary and the big O were actual demons, I told him perhaps he should find better sources for his news. Can't wait to see what he brings up next!
P. S. My consistent ridicule of his candidate (Trump) over a few weeks has him switched to Johnson. So, there's that...

(4,723 posts)It is frightening to me to see so many give up on this country in favor of worshiping a dangerous man. Weren't many of these people the same ones who, not so long ago, were telling anyone who dared critique Dubya's rule to get out of their country? The times, they are a-changin'.
