Why do people still support Trump?

Yeah, but Serbs aren't brown enough for that narrative.

I have noticed all sorts of strange behavior from people. I have seen people who will defend anything or play the devil's advocate of anything no matter how bad of a crime it is or behavior. I have even seen people defend Hitler and his Nazis and claim to not be a Nazi sympathizer or a Hitler supporter. I have seen people question the Holocaust but then act like it actually happened as if they are not Holocaust deniers. So many contradictions it makes me wonder if they are just trolls and they are just trying to rile people up.

There are even people online who pretend to be racist so they are what I call a racist troll.

I even met someone in real life one time and he was on his computer and I asked what he was doing and he said he was trolling on youtube and he likes to pretend he is a homophobic to rile people up and create drama. I asked him why and he didn't really know why. He said it was just something he does.

Donald trump is one of the most famous internet trolls there is. He started by trolling other republican leaders back in 2016 saying outrageous, inflammatory low brow comments about Ted Cruz's wife. Amazingly female republican voters were happy to vote for him.

Again I posit, the real reason for 62 million Americans voting for him have nothing to do with policy or any thought for the future.

What makes Trump worse than other Presidents who were considered bad though? For example Bush went to over with Iraq for years for... well who knows the real reason really, but it was a waste of time and lives and money. But he doesn't get as much as hate as Trump, and you don't see Trump doing anything like that that costs so many lives. So why does Trump get so much hate compared to other Presidents' who have been worse?

There are some things he has done which can be objectively said to have improved like criminal reform and bring troops back but....

With the troops there is the unfortunate circumstance of leaving the Kurds to fend for themselves after they supported America

Oh okay, well America can't be expected to be overseas to defend the Kurds forever, or should they be?

Bush didn’t try to stifle the press and to be a dictator—like Trump has tried to do.

Oh okay. What has Trump done to stifle the press and be a dictator?

Many things. It’s obvious.

He calls the press “the enemy of the people.”

He’s trying to stay in office through whatever means. Read up on how he influences the United States Postal Service. And how he (Trump) dislikes mail-in voting.

Oh okay. What's so good about mail in voting though? When he says the press is an enemy of the people was he referring to a specific media, or just in general?

He was talking in general—except for entities like Fox News.

Oh okay. Well I guess for me it depends on the media source. For example there was a recent shooting in Portland and the media described it as a clash between BLM and Trump supporters. But could the media tell it was BLM and Trump supporters? I mean do they wear brand logos, so people can tell?

Trump supporters wear MAGA hats.

BLM is not “organized.” You can tell by the signs they carry.

How does Trump appeal to you? How would you feel if he were chosen to be Premier of Canada ?

Opposition to the idea of a female president?
