When the Donald first announced his candidacy there was a rash of followers who fawned all over the threads with such accolades. That was before the wealth of information was made available revealing what a far-left liberal kook he is. The Donald faithful tried hard to defend him, some anyway, some have completely ignored his liberal past. Example: I have asked several to comment on his saying he supported the assault weapons ban. 4 of 5 completely ignored my requests; they just would not respond. I have never seen FReepers act this way in the defense of any candidate, certainly not one as clearly liberal as Donald Trump. It truly was/is mind boggling.

Sadly, I have someone here who I have always considered a friend. We have been allies on many threads. That "friend" rebuffed my attempts to maintain our friendship and chose the Donald over me. Oh well. What on earth do these people see in a this liberal snakeoil salesman? I'm a fairly educated man but I must admit, I just don't get it.

I’m sorry about your friend.

None of this makes any sense, unless it’s simply a fact that some conservatives are gullible and easily suckered. I don’t want to admit that to myself, but what else could it be? I would love another explanation.

Since Trump announced, my attempts to uncover his liberal nature have met with the same response as yours. Most of his supporters just don’t want to hear the truth about him.

The sad thing is, Trump is laughing behind his back at them.
