151 - Trump Strawman

Here is a recreation of every conversation I've had with supporters of Donald Trump (aka "StormTrumpers") for President. Swear to Gawds, I've had this conversation 5 times now.k
SUPPORTER: I dunno, I think Trump's got a lot of good ideas!
ME: Really? Which ones?
SUPPORTER: Oh you know... Ideas... I guess what I really like is how he's not afraid to say what he's thinking"
ME: Really? Like what?
SUPPORTER: Oh you know... just... I just really like Trump!

None of them can tell me *why* they like Trump or *how* they think he would make a great leader, and it's really frustrating!

It's not just frustrating. It's scary.

Frustrating, scary, and embarrassing - the way WE see StormTrumpers today, is the way the right-wing saw Nader supporters back in 2000. I voted for Nader, hugest regret ever :(
