I don’t like Democrats or Republican...
Welcome to the legions of actual "Trump Supporters". I'm not talking about those fanatics going around yelling stuff, this is the quiet voters that go about their days without making a sound.
That man is the walking definition of maniac.
I do not trust or support him.
That was the entire point of him being elected. Throwing a giant grenade into the well oiled corrupt political system in the hopes it rebuilds itself into something less corrupt.
The non-elected Republican leadership would pick out who they wanted running in which positions and then restrict the candidates accordingly. The Democrats would do the same thing and thus the entire system was rigged to always favor those non-elected power brokers who got all the favors.
Then Trump got elected by beating that well established political machine for bother parties causing an identity crisis to occur. The Republicans said "holy *** how did we let that guy beat us in our own primary and how the *** did he just beat out the Democrat on steroids". The Democrats said "holy *** how did our Democrat on steroids lose to this orange haired ***." The result is the right reconsidering itself and the left losing it's mind in a case of TDS.
Make sure your own hatred isn't a result of TDS.
after all the shenanigans that Bush Jr and Obama pulled I am thoroughly desensitized to anything the orange man will do.
The orange man isn’t the problem. the problem rest in the fact that corruption is legal. not only is corruption legal, corruption is required to reach higher office in US government. this is largely money driven corruption by large businesses having political power. this is one major factor that has been the downfall to many great nations throughout history.
Your still operating under the assumption elected officials are the ones deciding what gets changed and that the President means something. That's not how the system work(ed), if you want something you need to get the approval of unelected power brokers who then work behind the scenes to get everyone else on board with the idea. It becomes "a thing" with party members espousing how great it is, how everything should support this thing and how it matches perfectly with the parties platform, even when it doesn't. That is how ~everything~ worked because elections were decided by which side could spend the most on advertisements and resources. And don't think these are candidate contributions, they aren't. The amount candidates spend pales in comparison to the amount non-profits and private organizations spend. Campaign finance rules heavily restrict how much can be donated to a candidate, but don't mean jack ***for what private citizens / organizations just happen to want to do.
If a private organization wants to spend 50 million USD on advertisements that endorse one candidate or one political "thing" they are completely free to do so. And of course those messages are controlled by the same power brokers that select the candidates. This is how they can control the political system, very few politicians can afford to disobey them without risking being booted from office and replaced by someone who will obey. President Obama was a very good example of this, moderate centrist who gets elected on personality and ideas, attempts to implement ideas and gets shutdown by his own party. Spends his entire first term trying to get support until he eventually capitulates and becomes a hard leftist while towing the party line on everything.
With this background, someone like Trump comes in and pretty much smashes the whole damn thing to pieces. He's got the sheer stubbornness to ignore those power brokers, who he happened to golf with on several occasions, and just do whatever the hell he wants to do.
That is the mentality of most vile "Trump Supporters", they don't like him, they don't agree with him, but damn it they know he's not going along with the corrupt political machine that both parties have created. We know this because both sides wail and gnash teeth at him every other day. The only Republicans who agree with him are those hoping to ride his "popularity", without understanding why he's (un)popular in the first place.
