    Sure, but not all the people who voted for trump were Republicans and it is too simplistic to say that they all voted for him because of hate towards minority groups. I’m not saying that no one voted for him because they hate x-group. Just that most people most likely voted for him because they thought he would fix the economy.

    I don’t think most people who voted for him expected that he was gonna go completely apeshit like he has. I sure didn’t think he was gonna be this insane. And no I didn’t vote for him and no I’m not American and no I can’t just mind my own business because American politics is literally shoved down everybody’s throat all over the world.

    But I will say that acting like it was all about bigotry for every single person who voted for him is too simplistic a take, like many other people in this thread have also said.

      Well, I can only go on the magas in my life. I have a lot of them, and they are all bigots, in addition to whatever other justification they claimed.

      (Setting aside their ahem naivete at thinking he’d fix the economy.)

      I don’t think most people who voted for him expected that he was gonna go completely apeshit like he has. I sure didn’t think he was gonna be this insane.

      There’s been a nonstop drumbeat of people including Trump himself telling everyone that he’d go EXACTLY this apeshit, so I don’t know why.

      They all knew who Republicans were though.
