yes, they tend to. but that love tends not to be on public display when we engage in political discussions - especially those involving tRump

That statement, notwithstanding the gratuitous pejorative, contradicts your sig. Anyway, I even have relatives who are pro-Trump. Politics are off-limits by mutual agreement. Guess we're not that vigorous.
 
I have many friends and family who support and voted Trump, and I understand completely, even if I disagree with them almost all the time we don't let our political differences get in the way and can have level-headed friendly debates. I have many friends and family who are also staunch gun control advocates and super-leftist, and I've had to mediate between them many times.
 
Nope.

Every Trump supporter I know IRL is completely nuts.
 
anyone that I am aware of that voted for Trump I no longer associate with.
If I meet someone that I find out voted for Trump I find a quick reason to just walk away.
I don't need this ****.

I was up on the Iron Range in July, 2016 for a graduation party for a high school kid.
I was quite shocked to see all of the MAGA hats the young kids were wearing.
It reminded me of the Hitler Youth.

I prefer to not be around anyone that supports such a divisive & immoral imbecile.
 
My wifes parents, uncle and aunt, as well as her Brother are Trump supporters and we have both learned to simply ignore and redirect any conversation about politics completely. Though his power over them is waning as he acts and the MAGA stuff is rare now.

I don't really like the question. There are many on the right who are conservatives (to many various degrees) that aren't really pro-Trump but are pro-conservative. Many aren't going to join in with the rabid anti-Trump crowd when most of the anti-Trump crowd just has sour grapes from their stinging election defeat and won't join in on the utter NeverTrump nonsense which is nothing but biased partisan politics.

I have a Latino pro Trump friend who would drive most of the anti Trump crowd nuts. He wears a MAGA hat occasionally, used to wear it all the time.

I know a lady who has a husband who is an illegal and she voted for Trump over the objections of her husband based solely on her pro-life views.

I have a number of acquaintances that are pro-Trump but what really surprises me is how many of my democratic friends are not anti-Trump. From the conversations we've had over the past couple of years, it appears that the anti-Trump movement that the media takes part in has had a counter-effect of democratic voters. At least the ones I've chatted with. One thing keeps coming out -- they don't like the constant attacks on Trump and it's turning them against those who are attacking rather than convincing them to join the attacks. It's interesting to watch for sure.

This is exactly what happened in the election. There were many voters, including Democrats, who were really turned off by the liberal MSM peddling their fake news and calling everyone who didn't support Hillary racists and bigots.

I've been around a long, long time. I don't remember any president having a direct effect on my life. My life is the same today as it was under Obama or Bush or Bill Clinton back to Eisenhower as I was born right after WWII. My ups and downs were mostly if not entirely due to my own decisions, choices and actions. Not really influenced by anyone president.

Now each of those presidents did some things I was in favor of, somethings I was against. I never viewed any president as the savior of the nation or the devil who is out to destroy this nation. They come and go and life goes on. I don't like Trump personally, I think his obnoxious, egotistical, uncouth behavior is below the dignity of the office of the presidency. But like every president before him, he has done some things I like and some I don't.

It amazes me all of the crazy threads and posts on here from the left who are either outright lying or honestly believe that Trump is going to turn the presidency into a dictatorship that can't be stopped and that he will issue decree after decree after decree.

I try not to call Trump supporters my friend, they are merely ornaments to be ignored as I go about my day. If I have to address their politics, I try to leave their company as soon as politely possible. They have nothing to say that interests me at all.

Don't know what they are like but did it ever occur to you to listen?

Yeah, and some family, too. Not my immediate family, though.
 
My husband voted for Trump, but he is not "pro-Trump".

But I do have a couple of friends who seem to adore him. It's quite disgusting. They also post things like, "Proud to be white. I bet no one will repost this because they're afraid to be called racist."

How can one not hear their bile? We are bombarded with it constantly. There is no rational argument in favor of Trump over Hillary, none. I prefer meditating with braying donkees to hearing another misbegotten voter explain to me that Trump is qualified and competent to be POTUS.

And people wonder why so many of us cannot stand our socalled "Christians". The only way this woman makes this connection is through repeated drum beating on Sundays and in social circles.

Hmm, I see at least 7 here do not have a single Trump friend. And I am the "partisan hack" :lamo

is that a rhetorical question or one for which you actually seek an honest answer?
 
I have a few. But I have had to cut some off, even before 2016. If your worldview revolves around believing that people who are not like you are somehow less than worthy of basic human rights and decency, then I am going to have a very, very difficult time being friends with you.
 
Yes, I do, (I hope...my wife)
Otherwise, zero and zero .
Hard, if not impossible for a man to be pro-trump and a ''friend'' at the same time . There are limits to my tolerance .

My age? There's basically a small handful. Among older relatives, there's sadly a lot. That's why I'm confident this is just a desperation play on the part of the old guard. They're dying off and losing power. We just need to survive this bump in the road.

I ignore rantings and ravings like the ones you describe. Their statements like that are asinine, pure insanity derived from sour grape that Trump won. It wouldn't surprise me that they actually believe that stuff such is the hatred they have for Trump. Our politics have gone crazy, off the deep end. Republicans think Democrats are out to destroy this nation and Democrats think Republicans are out to destroy the country. Pure idiocy.

What I have seen throughout the decades following politics, I first became interested in politics watching the Republican and Democratic conventions on TV back in 1956. Is both parties govern approximately the same. There are differences around the edges of government and each has their own pet projects, agenda. But our government is so huge changing directions of it in a major way is beyond the realm of possibility. The world as whole determines foreign policy as we mainly react to whatever goes on there.

So when I run across a thread that is so outlandish, I ignore it and move on to a different one to where the possibility of having a civil and hopefully, an intelligence discussion and exchange of ideas can take place. I have no use for pure, unadulterated partisanship spouting nothing more than talking points handed down from upon high.
