Much has been made about "Democrats for Trump," are the issue of cross-over voters. Some have speculated that that Democrats who want Trump at this point are just trying some version of "Operation Chaos." Maybe some are, and they're idiots if they think Trump would lose big to either Sanders or a version of Hillary that accommodates the far-left.
But in reality, there is a group of people today who indeed are disaffected former Democrats given how the SJWs have taken the party over at its highest levels.
Some of Trump’s (formerly) Democratic supporters are people who:
1. Might believe gays should have equal rights and should be able to get a marriage certificate from the state, but don’t believe that being gay should be promoted. It should be seen like being handicapped; not a moral failing or bad thing, but certainly not a good thing. Not something to be promoted, like MTV does (and has done for 20 years, see the show “Dismissed†for examples of this). Gays getting married means that gays are less likely to go out and be promiscuous, get and spread STDs, etc, which is even worse when some of them might experiment with straight people.
2. Believe in promoting equality of races, but not in promoting punishment of those who didn’t have it as hard. “White males†are not evil! Michael Moore, you are also a "Stupid White Man," unless of course you're trans-racial, like Rachel Dolezal or Michael Jackson.
3. Believe in taking care of people, but don’t believe in socialism. Government can provide tools to facilitate the beginnings of upward mobility, not create an illusion of moving up because the rich are dramatically moved down (like Bolshevik Sanders wants to do with his 90% taxes).
4. Believe that women should have equal rights, not extra rights like being able to claim “rape†if the girl did consent but was voluntarily drunk, even tho if you voluntarily get behind the wheel and kill someone, you are responsible. Also believe that given how much better ratings NBA has than WNBA, that they don't warrant "equal pay."
5. Believe that those with a Y-chromosome are males, those without are females. PERIOD.
6. Don’t trip all over themselves to call non-whites “people of color†or gays “LGBTs.â€
7. Are happy America was founded and don't bash Columbus Day as evil "indigenous 'genocide'."
7. Believe that while blacks may get treated unfairly be some individual officers (like Rubio said) at times, overall, the institution of the police is a good thing and must be honoured. Black leaders like Sharpton need to do better jobs of telling their people to only dislike individual racists, not label the societal institution that keeps everyone safer than they’d be without, “racist†as a whole.
9. Believe that while America, like all nations, has flaws, it is the greatest country in the history of the world, and the hope of the Earth.
10. Admit that while religious extremism exists in all stripes, the most common manifestation of religious extremism occurs in the form of RADICAL ISLAMIC TERRORISM, which costs governments across the world billions to fight and thousands of man-hours of labor to foil, unlike Hindu, Jewish, Christian, yada yada extremism.
11. Believe that Israel is morally superior to its Islam neighbors given the civil liberties that exist there, unlike in Islam countries, and see that the issue of the West Bank is peanuts compared to other armed conflicts/occupations.
12. Believe that America needn't erase monuments to historical figures who indeed were in the overton window of the time or erase names off buildings. After all, after Woodrow Wilson at Princeton, what's next? Washington owned slaves, so should we eliminate the capitol or the state's name? Is Ohio/Wisconsins' name "cultural appropriation?" Communists like Cornel West and Noam Trotsky must be kept away from the White House, and so must their candidate Bernie Bolshevik Socialist Sanders, and his followers.
You get the idea. Whats awesome about Trump is that he is not merely just a rebuke to the opponents of the ideas above, but a baseball bat to the face of the SJWs in a way that even other Republicans are not, since the liberal media pushes the ideas alluded to above. Only Trump takes on the media. Jeb tries to go along with their narratives, ditto Kasich. Classical liberals like me and others will leave the Democrat Party in droves and help make America great again.
We’re WAY past the tipping point. Argue over who one should vote for, but don’t harbor any illusions that it will save our beloved republic.
.
OK, nobody’s republic is ultimately going to be saved; they’ll all fall at the crescendo of our time, but do you claim special knowledge on when we will fail?
.
We still have an obligation to pick the best, and that sure is not the buffoon Don Trump.
.
You left out immigration & trade.
A lot of white & black democrats dont support open borders and Stem h1b visas.
13. Calling it “Christmas” again.
.
“A few” would have been a more honest choice of words.
.
I’ll write in Cruz if necessary, and feel good about it. However, our country reelected Obama and is ready to pick Bernie Sanders as a favorite. We’re not turning this ship around at the ballot box. It is a good time to be old, and, of course, “we live in interesting times”.
.
Yep!

There’s your crossover voters.
They’re people who understand that none of us are getting anywhere without security and economic prosperity.
Apparently there are those here who do not have Democrat friends. I was forced to belong to a union for 25 years. AN OVERWHELMING MAJORITY of my fire department friends are supporting Trump. Maybe that doesn’the sound strange to some, but it is earth shattering for me to observe, especially this early in the game.
Caveat to item 1. EVERYONE has the right to refuse service to ANYONE. That way, no one is ‘’discriminated against’’. No whining- no lawsuits. Period.
Caveat to item 13 (Thank you, digger) And Nativities on the courthouse lawn. And most all, church bells at midnight on December 25. If I can get bounced out of bed at 3 AM by wall rattling thump music, church bells are no imposition on Christmas & Easter.
One more. Good Friday used to be a holiday. When did that go away?
I know several long-time Dems who are planning to vote for Trump purely because of his intent to close the southern border and his wanting to put a hold on Muslim immigration.
EVERY bar/club I go into in my home town seems to be overwhelmingly in support of Trump. Democrat enrollment is three to one over Republican. VERY hard core union oriented. I haven’t seen anything like this since 1980. I’m very serious. I’m usually the only one who cares about politics. Now it seems almost everyone is paying attention.
Interesting times—as they say.
Does SJW = Single Jewish Women?
Apart from Debbie Wasserman Schultz, I couldn’t find any among the DNC’s top officers.
I couldn’t find out which faith Stephanie Rawlings Blake belonged to, if any.
Caitlin Jenner changing from Rubio to Trump?
SJW=Social Justice Warrior
>>> they’ll all fall at the crescendo of our time, but do you claim special knowledge on when we will fail?
Chiming in from the peanut gallery, Einstein’s quote comes to mind:
“Compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world. He who understands it, earns it ... he who doesn’t ... pays it.”
which brings us to the Federal debt. And so while we can’t say exactly when our republic will fall, we can do the math and confidently predict that we can’t keep spending indefinitely, and the problem will come to a head much quicker than one might think, because of compounded interest.
.... Nothing to worry about .... it’s just the Democrat version of “Operation Chaos” from 2008.
Caitlyn Jenner?
