36. Stop this nonsense, this guy would turn you in if Trump had become dictator.

We need to stop this they are nice people garbage. If they voted for Trump the SECOND time, they are not nice people.

And do not think for a second if Trump had pulled off his coup and told his supporters to turn in their family and friends who openly supported Biden that they would not do it.

This same grandpa would call Trumps gestapo on you if Trump convinced them that Biden supporters would destroy America. No one who voted for Trump the 2nd time is truly a nice person. They are very dangerous because they could be manipulated to turn in the neighbors just like in Nazi Germany.
