In 2016 I voted against Hillary! (because she is a truly nasty piece of work) despairing that Trump was a liberal NE Yankee Republican. I thought the things he said were just his “negotiating stance” and I would be continuously disappointed.
When he started carrying out promises and fighting back against the Left and the Press (but I repeat myself...) I switched to supporting Trump. He will be the first President I have voted “for” since Reagan.
The more you have, the less you need enemies.

I have ma y acquaintances but just a few friends.
I’m sorry, but any decent person, or any person who has functioning brain cells, should have left the Democrat Party long before now.
My grandfather left in 1980. And he was something of a bigshot in the local party.
Anyone who is still a Democrat in 2020 is in reality either a Communist or a Communist Enabler.
My wife, oldest son, and daughter-in-law were blocked last week on Facebook by my niece. You see we are unsophisticated rubes and she lives in the big city and even before the age of 25 has everything figured out, even though she has washed out on 3 FULL athletic scholarships in college and works at Subway. According to her we were just to Christian and bigoted for her. I reminded her, you’re very arrogant for your age, and YOU are the one burning bridges and cutting off family members because of your politics, this is totally on you. No reply, which is fine with me.
As for having Democrat friends I have one, a woman in her late 30’s. I have known her since she was 8 years old and she married a friend of my brother. She’s a typical liberal, disrespects her parents. At one point she told me I was mad at my daddy and my grandma was too and told him he better given into my demands or she would cut him out of her will and I told my daddy to go to hell rather proudly when she told me.
I replied girl I would have told your grandma I love you but you need to butt out she is not your child, she’s mine and I will raise her as I see fit, if that means being out of your will go change it tomorrow. I said as for you if you were my daughter and told me that you would still be hunting your teeth, you were rude and disrespectful to your father. She was taken aback, tried to justify it again half-heatedly and I said you were WRONG and need to apologize. She dropped it.
From time to time she will hunt me up for a political discussion, knowing I won’t countenance her leftist BS like her husband and parents and I tell her the truth, not hateful but calmly and that she is simply wrong. She is proud of her history education and promotes communism and socialism until I remind her, tell me what happens in history to countries under communism and she him-haw around and finally will confess they failed and were horrible, but our communist are better and can make it work. Heard that before and you know better will be my reply.
She is a public school teacher and I have been posting on twitter about the indoctrination and unprofessional behavior of public school teachers. She wouldn’t confront me but had her husband politely say something. I told him, you know I love her like a daughter but she and you know what is going on in the classrooms, he agreed. I will give her credit she doesn’t seem to promote leftist garbage in her instruction, but she knows what the other leftist are doing. When we finish a discussion or leave one another it is always with a hug and I love you. Very very rare with Democrats agreeing to disagree.
Now those I work with save one are just plan nasty pieces of work. There is a poster of Reagan and Churchill hanging in my office so they know what they are doing. Most leave me alone because I return fire if fired upon, however one professor will seek me out for political discussions. He gets mad, red faced, storms out of my office and will come back in a couple days and apologize for getting mad. I don’t get mad at him and am working on him. I have got him into defending the 2nd Amendment and getting his CCW.
I have family members that are.
Here’s what many people on the right don’t understand. These Biden supporters TRULY believe the stories that have been used to destroy Trump, that’s why there is no arguing or debating because they actually believe Trump put kids in cages, Trump conspired with Russia, Trump said dead vets are losers etc etc. These aren’t dumb people either. They’re professional people with good jobs, families etc.
The reason for their beliefs are simple. CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CBS, NPR....on and on. Meanwhile we watch Fox. IF you don’t watch Fox and don’t follow talk radio, you are completely brainwashed. That is NOT hyperbole.
The democrats are not our greatest enemy...the media is. The media is destroying this country.
I’m curious about how many registered Democrats, in total, end up voting for Donald Trump, on November 3rd? I’m going to guess a lot.
HAHAHA! Same here. 1980 was the only time I voted “for” a presidential candidate. And notice I didn’t include 1984. My feelings and thoughts about trump after his first term are completely the opposite of Reagan. Well, mostly. Reagan was still better than most, but he had dropped a few notches for me.
I spent 14 years working with NCAA athletic programs. I don’t mean to demean your niece or her family. Honest. But, trust me, no college is going to offer a second full boat scholarship to anyone that’s failed out of one already. And no kid is going full boat if they are a 3 sport player. That’s not how it works. Even if she is the female version of Jim Thorpe.
Someone is inflating their story. A lot.
As a woman, I am embarrassed by liberal women feeling instead of thinking.
>our communist are better and can make it work
The refutation to this, besides the riots, is that many people insist on keeping their stuff. The communists therefore need goons to take it by force. The goons then keep everything for themselves and replace the idealistic communists who employed them and continue as fake communists. It is inevitable. Your grandma would be first out of a “communist” regime.
The purpose of communism is redistribution of wealth to the redistributors, their goons, minions, cronies and families.
I would not treat them that way. They don't know or care how I feel, we cannot understand each other anymore... what is the point? My family are all Trump supporters, so... I'm good. I'll just stick with those who understand what America means to me.
I voted for ex-quarterback Jack Kemp in the 1980 primary.
Reagan was a fallback.
I would never unfriend anyone as long as I could post refutations to protect their other readers. If they just deleted my comments, I reposted them until they were forced to block me altogether.
I’m sorry I think I may have confused you on the scholarship thing and understand this is what we heard from her and her Mom, at least in regard to one incident. She was a all state basketball player and if I remember holds a state record in rebounds, I did confirm that and she only played one sport, woman’s basketball. I know she did have one basketball scholarship for sure and that another college did offer her the same basketball ride after she screwed up the first time and they quickly figured she wasn’t going to work and released her, heck from what her dad said they couldn’t find her at school she was off with her boyfriend.
As for the third, that is what (her and her mom) tell and give another lame excuse why she lost that one-it’s never her fault you see. Her dad says the third one is pure fantasy land, but that she did screwed the pooch on two for sure. He said she simply wouldn’t go to class and wouldn’t come to practice and expected to play. He’s washed his hands on her where college is concerned. Sorry for the confusion.
I voted for Cruz.
Yeah I saw this email just the other day. I think it is fake to be honest. But who knows it may be real. Sadly it is impossible to know for sure if it is real or not.
So did I.
