Anyone else think hatred of Trump stems from a fear of being perceived as racist or dumb?

[Deserter2]

Biden is an idiot with dementia, Nikki Haley is a war mongering shill "but at least they're not Trump."

[abc3643]

No, Trump is a would-be dictator and rational mature intelligent people don't like dictators.

This is what dictators do:

This is what should happen to dictators:

Merry Fucking Christmas, Ceaușescu

[Deserter2]

Only non war monger, those are the facts

[abc3643]

When you finish growing up, let me know.

[Deserter2]

Insults is all you have. The facts aren't on your side, npc

[abc3643]

LOL... OK.
I said my piece though and answered your question why many people are not for Trump.

Perhaps I will let The Lincoln Project (formed by Republicans) explain it.

WE HAVE SEEN THE BEST AND WORST OF American POLITICS

The Lincoln Project is dedicated to the preservation, protection, and defense of democracy. Since our launch in December 2019, The Lincoln Project has played a unique role in American politics. We entered the political arena with two stated objectives: first, to defeat Donald Trump at the ballot box in 2020. (Done.) The second was to ensure Trumpism failed alongside him. We understand that the real fight against Trumpism is just beginning and we’re committed to seeing it through. Our democracy depends on it.

Founded by former Republican strategists who understood the grave threat of Trumpism to our nation, the Lincoln Project team has expanded to include individuals from across the political spectrum. We are first and foremost: pro-democracy.

WHY WE FIGHT

Our mission is to protect the American Republic from Donald Trump and those who identify (publicly or privately) as MAGA supporters. While we are optimistic about the future, we are not complacent. In 2020, it took an ad-hoc coalition to ensure Trump’s defeat. In 2022, we built a coalition across the political spectrum and again bought democracy some breathing room. We agree with Trump on only one thing: 2024 is a battle for America’s future.

President Abraham Lincoln led the United States through the bloodiest, most divisive, and most decisive period of our nation’s history. He fought not because he wanted to, but because he knew the dual goals of preserving the Union and the end of slavery would be achieved only through armed conflict. At Gettysburg, he implored us not to forget those who had given “their last full measure of devotion” to preserving the American experiment.

Today, we find our nation divided again – faced with a growing authoritarian movement populated by millions of radicalized voters for whom this fight is existential as well as hyper-partisanship and Ultra-MAGA movements within the government itself. Donald Trump and those who ascribe to Trumpism are a clear and present danger to the Constitution and our Republic.

This is why we fight.

[Deserter2]

Great, none of that explains why you're against Trump. You can't think for yourself, als, we're not a democracy

[abc3643]

I am against Trump because I am a 61-year-old native NYer who has been watching him for decades while you were swimming in your father's balls. He is full of shit and a profound asshole and his late sister said as much.

From the NY Times in 2015...
archive.nytimes.com/.../

Some Americans are just getting to know Donald Trump. Readers of The Times have known him for 42 years.
They first met him, on the front page no less, on Oct. 16, 1973. Then 27 years old, Mr. Trump was the president of the Trump Management Corporation, at 600 Avenue Z in Brooklyn, which owned more than 14,000 apartments in Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island.

“Major Landlord Accused of Antiblack Bias in City,” the headline stated. The Department of Justice had brought suit in federal court in Brooklyn against Mr. Trump and his father, Fred C. Trump, charging them with violating the Fair Housing Act of 1968 in the operation of 39 buildings.

“The government contended that Trump Management had refused to rent or negotiate rentals ‘because of race and color,’ ” The Times reported. “It also charged that the company had required different rental terms and conditions because of race and that it had misrepresented to blacks that apartments were not available.”

[Deserter2]

Ok, so you just believe what confirms your biases. What about Jesse Jackson giving him an award for hiring so many minorities? You are a sheep

[Deserter2]

Also what about Biden saying he doesn't want to live in a racial jungle? You'll only acknowledge it when it's Trump

[abc3643]

Son, look, I am growing tired of you and my "biases" are "biases" only to you because you they aligned with your ill-experienced beliefs.

My views of Donald Trump are born out of 50 years of watching Donald Trump.

Your views of him are born out of what people have told you to think or, at best, a few years of watching Donald Trump, a man who a jury today just ordered he pay 18.3 M$ in damages to a woman he defamed and then another 65 M$ in punitive damages for a total of 83.3 M$ because he's really being an asshole at it.

Even his family know's he's a selfish asshole and full of shit. "Barry" is the late Maryanne Trump Barry, the President's older sister. Mary is Trump and Barry's niece, Mary Trump, daughter of the late Fred Trump Jr.

TITLE: In secretly recorded audio, President Trump’s sister says he has ‘no principles’ and ‘you can’t trust him’

“It’s the phoniness of it all. It’s the phoniness and this cruelty. Donald is cruel.”

“Donald is out for Donald, period,” Barry said.
Mary questioned Barry about what he had accomplished on his own.
“I don’t know,” Barry said.
“Nothing,” Mary responded.
“Well he has five bankruptcies,” Barry said. (Trump’s companies filed for six corporate bankruptcies but he has never declared personal bankruptcy.)
“Good point. He did accomplish those all by his self,” Mary said.
“Yes, he did. Yes, he did. You can’t trust him,” Barry said.

[abc3643]

* because they don't align with your ill-experienced beliefs.

[Deserter2]

You believe what you're told like a good little sheep. Funny how these people only make these claims about Trump once he runs for president. You're a guillible fool lol

[rigmarole]

The majority of people that voted against Trump are racist and dumb, so there is a good chance they are insecure about that. They seem to live fear filled lives and allow oligarchs to direct their feelings.

[Yabbut]

I think that has a lot to do with it in a lot of cases. Virtue signaling seems pretty popular these days.

[milyjohn]

I’m pretty sure it stems from stupidity. Look at that idiot, Biden is doing on the border.

[normalice]

Of course not. It comes from his failed policies and divisive rhetoric.

[strateguy632]

they say they hate because it is popular. or they fear name calling.
