I can think of at least one or two people here who are within this minority.

I don't have any trumpist friends. Anyone who supports him I cut out of my life.

Does that not seem extremist to you?

Actually, I've had more Trumpist friends unfriend me and block me for my political views than not. I've only ever blocked one person - and that was because I couldn't stand seeing misinformation day in and day out. Pseudo-science and things of the like not based in reality. In essence, people trying to be a scientist or doctor without having done any of the educational work to back up their claims.

Yeah, them blocking you isn’t a good thing either. That’s the division politicians have caused.

Culture war sucks

Very much so yes

“Extremism in defense of liberty is no vice. Moderation in pursuit of justice is no virtue.” -- Karl Hess

Division isn’t ever a good thing, and neither is extremism. You see, I could say the same thing about trump supporters who worship him like a god, but neither of us would agree with that. So why is it any different when it’s from the other side?

Also, understand that I'm not saying conservatives are objectively wrong. trump supporters are fascists, not conservatives. Conservatism is based on facts and I agree with conservatives on some issues. It's a legitimate point of view. trumpism, however, is based on lies, and nobody who subscribes to it should be taken seriously, except as a possible terrorist threat.

What exactly makes think that trump supporters are fascists?

Almost everything they do and say.

And that would be?

F**k these people and anyone who agrees with them.

I’m talking about a puppet by other US politicians. Also, just because Russia supports a specific leader doesn’t make him a puppet, but I do see your point

That is a good point, but I still prefer trump because of his transparency. If he thinks about something, he’ll tweet it, make a speech about it. Joe on the other hand is just being used as a puppet.

Most of these people that you talk about are VERY extreme. Most people who support trump are just normal Americans that support him because they think he is a good leader. Same reason why you support Biden, right?

Wrong. I think Biden is an adequate leader, while trump was a racist, rapist, grifter, and pathological liar. The normal Americans who support trump support evil. I view them as enemies.

Not the stuttering, it’s how he will answer questions with completely random answers

They don't seem random to me. Unlike trump's rambling.

You really think people are that one dimensional? Do you really believe that the world is that black an white? Perhaps you perceive them these ways because you view them as the enemy and shut out before any conversation could happen.

I don't think most people are that one dimensional, or the world in general, but I do think trump supporters are that one dimensional. Most people are better than trump supporters.

Just like Joe Biden

More like donnie trump. Much more. Not even close.

Who said I was a trump supporter, you just assumed that

You don't support trump? Good for you!

This was an answer to a question about segregation in schools.

I prefer trump over Biden maybe

That's crazy.

At least Donald trump can answer a question with the answer actually having something to do with it.

You cutting people who have a different opinion than you is still quite extreme, and destroying many chances of good friendships.

Don't get me wrong, though. I do believe people can change and reform. If someone were to truly repent of their support for trump, I'm certainly willing to forgive them.

Also, I don't cut people out of my life because they have any old different opinion than me. Just if they have a pro-trump opinion (or a pro-pedophilia or pro-torturing animals opinion, or something else heinous like that).

trump supporters are incapable of good friendship. There's something seriously wrong with them, psychologically, morally, and/or intellectually.

You voted for a very obviously mentally ill man for president, so are you evil? Are you stupid?

You're projecting, like trump supporters usually do. Biden's not mentally ill, he's got a stutter and he's old so he's forgetful. Not the best candidate by a long shot, but getting that monster trump out of office was a necessity.

Unlike Biden, trump has serious psychological problems.

If you still support trump after all this time, I'd suggest seeing a therapist before accusing anyone else of having mental illness.

Nobody is one dimensional. Nobody is black and white. I don’t know how you got to these beliefs, but they very much aren’t true. Trump supporters don’t vote for him because he’s the most evil. NO! Nobody does that. They’re not evil, they’re people.

I disagree. They're evil people. Or they're stupid people, or they're mentally ill people.

Perhaps they're victims of disinformation and psychological warfare, by Rush Limbaugh, Fox News, and/or the KGB. That's unfortunate. And I know I shouldn't be prejudiced against the mentally ill. But none of that means they aren't dangerous and harmful, which they are. I hope someone can bring them back to their senses and their humanity, but I doubt that person is me. I've talked to enough trump supporters online to know that none of them have anything worthwhile to say to me. I don't need more conversations with sickos in my life.

"Most people are good and occasionally do something they know is bad. Some people are bad and struggle every day to keep it under control. Others are corrupt to the core and don’t give a damn, as long as they don’t get caught. But evil is a completely different creature, Mac. Evil is bad that believes it’s good." -- Karen Marie Moning

So you cut people out of your life if they have a different opinion is what you’re saying?

No. All my friends have differing opinions on various things. That's fine, they're good people, and my own opinions change over time. But none of them support trump. I don't cut people out of my life for having different opinions, but for supporting trump specifically.

As someone once said, you have a right to your own opinion but not your own facts. Support for trump is not an opinion, it's a character defect. It's a combination of malevolence and dishonesty.

That doesn’t make them fascists, that makes them douches

True, but they can be both. And I think most of these apply:

https://ratical.org/ratville/CAH/fasci14chars.html

Heh, about being both, I'd say not all douches are fascists, but all fascists are douches.

Because the trumpists are objectively wrong. We don't always know what's true, but we can know some things are definitely false. Lies do not have the same rights as facts.

Also, I obviously don't agree that division and extremism are never good.

We hope...

Talking about politics necessarily involves generalizations. We try to avoid the worst of them, but it’s inevitable. If you slap a MAGA hat on a meme, some people will see that as attacking all Republicans even if you only mean a certain type.

I ain’t giving up the MAGA hats tho. Waaay too useful, and hilarious.
