[QUOTE="Re-Raise, post: 2482852, member: 16501"] I have been a republican voter all of my life. But I have been getting a lot of grief at work because I have been a very vocal critic of Trump. I see a con artist who bullied and insulted his way to being president. He stands on the sideline calling everything and everyone a "disaster" while having no realistic plan to actually do any of the things he says he can do. I have not lost any friends over it, because I am still able to laugh about it with them. Sadly though, I am in the inner circle enough to see where a lot of his support comes from. It is not coming from a good place. There is a lot of "us against them" from the midwestern white men I work with. A lot of their support for Trump comes from a hatred for "liberals", that they pretty much define as blacks, muslims, immigrants, gays or anyone else that isn't them. I am all for putting a fresh set of eyes in the Whitehouse, but I am worried about the message that got him elected. [/QUOTE]
