Actually, no, I haven't. They voted for the tyrant, and most of them are on government assistance. So I hope they are happy to starve, die of lack of medical care, and live on the street. Good luck
Unfortunately, I have. I sometimes feel like I'm living in the old "invasion of the body snatchers" movies. All of these "pod people" walking around look like the people I grew up with, but are complete orange shit stain zombies inside...
Yes, many. Family members and former friends. Well educated, multiple degrees. Some are racists. They all agree with him on one or more of his opinions. Mostly they want to keep all their & and contribute as little as possible to their fellow citizens. Our estrangement is painful.
Yes, for some it was simply about their love of $— lower taxes and deregulation or some other single issue.
Whatever their reasons, they are now complicit in every cruelty & crime perpetrated by the Trump regime. They will wear the stain of these abominations to their graves like Trump et al.
Unfortunately I had a boss who graduated from Ohio State who was a big T supporter. He even had a picture of him outside of his office so everyone could see it.
6 very long years of having to listen to him praise T & eventually became the factor to leave this lucrative job.
Me too. Several educated but since I know about them, they seem to have had daddy issues or a weird patriarchy thinking. They like someone taking control. Years from now they’ll probably write psychology books about these people.
I have. I wouldn't be so upset if they were all so terrible. I know many who are used to be actual normal people except that now they have apparently been brainwashed by the cult and MAGA news sources.
Maybe they chose to be "brainwashed", because some of those malevolent MAGA principles actually align with their own. And on top of that, they're seeing few to no reasons to hide their true despicable selves now.
It’s exhausting, but there are positive signs, mostly that a good number of people have stopped wearing MAGA hats. They and others are -finally, yet suddenly- concerned (e.g. SS, Medic are/aid, SNAP).
Sadly, yes. Stats show the *majority* of US white people are MAGA, and that includes many of the businessmen I work with. The lack of worldly knowledge is real... and worsening.
I am in Thailand. I saw 2 (man & wife?) in a bar. The band was playing YMCA. They jumped up performed the dance actions & added 3 fingers shouting '3rd term' in our faces. Thais & other tourists looked on bemused. Not a good look USA.
It's not particularly helpful. Problem is somewhere else. Both parties didn't show way out of decline. Both parties clearly don't have solution. At least Trump promised change
Simply, some people can't recognize that he's fraud
How does this help? Some voters educated but deluded or corrupt: many sucked into mirrored maelstrom of misinformation. Some naivetes whose energy for change re-directed by social isolation & hostile economic environment. Unwise, deluded, uninsighfull, greedy, even morally confused. Not all stupid.
I have. But in all of them Ive seen the lack of empathy towards the...different (from their pov), the vulnerable minorities, and/or critical thought.
They dont see the root of the problem (the elites).
The "educated" people that I have known that voted for Trump are Sociopaths. They don't care who gets hurt as long as they have what they want. The majority of the Trump voters that I know are seriously uneducated vicious abusive bigots. They get off on his cruelty.
My cousins all went to college & my heart is broken they support fully fledged Nazi ideology knowing how sick I am. I had cancer & they made me cry yesterday saying they were anti vax. I thought how selfish of you with a sick granddaughter who is disabled & me! They now have RSV so why be so stupid?
You haven't asked your friends, colleagues? It's more than likely several of them did, thinking it wouldn't do any harm, believing in the firehose of lies. Maybe you ought to get out more.
know two people that are highly educated with several degrees both engineers who are very smart people but big time MAGAS ...
no one can tell them they're wrong about the 🍊felon
I know some that are ‘educated’ but care only about themselves and others who got brainwashed along the way. At this point they’re either ignorant or malicious, neither is excusable
Actually I have. My little brother. Highly educated. A surgical team lead trains surgeons all over the SE on robotic surgical systems. Very charismatic, very popular and outgoing, tons of friends, always getting beautiful women. Does not do drugs. You would really like him and would never know it.
I honestly think it was our parents. We are many years apart in age. I was raised when my parents were young poor and flower children. My brother was raised when my parents were rich influential conservatives. I watched my dad transform from a man with hundreds of black friends to a huge racist...
In 2017 I had a long sit down with my parents and asked them who the fuck they were and how the fuck they became so fucking evil they have a very long come to reality moment and stepped back off the MAGA ledge. My dad is now very anti Trump independent and my mom is back to being a democrat.
of course i have but very few are 'treasonous'. that word is tossed around much too easily. most 🍊🧛♂️supporters are uneducated, ignorant, surface thinkers & easily fooled. that is in no way on par w/ treason.
Well, I can't say that. I know several who are well educated but still stupid enough to vote for that fucker. I don't know what to call them... Stupid? Still? LOL I just don't know. Yeah, they're stupid.
No. Anyone that supports or even supported,Trump owns everything that has happened and will happen. He was an insurrectionist traitor and the stupid morons didn't even bother to vote.
It's not about education, it's about having a soul, empathy and an ability to see the big picture. Rs are Nazis of the 21st century, they have none of the above.
Careful some of those folks were Bernie Sanders supporters before Hillary and the Democratic party fuck that up. We can only hope some of them Saw the Light for another Democratic rigged election. It had to be Kamala Harris again another poor design democratic Party. There should have been a primary
I have. One of my sweetest old lady patients. She genuinely believed what she heard on Faux “News” and, though she could see trump was a dreadful human, voted for him due to “I just think the country should be in the hands of a man.”

But a good percentage of my family voted for him.
Educated people-
Physical therapist - MS
2 Nurses - 1 w/ MS
Civil Engineer - BS
The list goes on.
I don't understand it,
#FDT
Yet they voted for a racist?

“Arrest Jamie Raskin for treason!”
I asked for specifics and got nothing but grumbling and mumbling in return.
The problem is we are expecting the same results or the definition of crazy.
All were very well-educated, and are articulate and intelligent in their fields.
They just refuse to believe that they aren't immune to propaganda and that they are capable of being duped.

Big trouble instead of good trouble.
