I just don't ridicule people for what they say are their personal experiences.

I still can't get my head around why just less than 50% of the voting public will choose Trump. It makes no sense to me but, yes, I am willing to listen because it's going to happen and understanding it will help explain what happens in the next four years.

It would be easier if they just said “he says the racist stuff I think and I feel empowered” rather than making up shite like their lives are harder because of Democrats.

Surely this is the way forward trying to understand both sides rather than going immediately on the offences and insulting someone purely because they hold an opposing view. America continues to be more and more polarised and yet you constantly see people getting into arguments and fights rather than discussing the topic like adults.

Speaking as someone who has always been good at viewing the qualities of those I disagree with politically (Thatcher, Benn, Reagan and even Farage) the issue with Trump is that he has no identifiable redeeming characteristics whatsoever, which informs my incredulity as to how anyone could view him positively.

For me, it’s not about his politics, but rather his manifest unsuitability to hold public office in numerous ways.

I am genuinely baffled, give all he says and does, how any reasoned, rational person cannot see this.

There are spice heads in Piccadilly Gardens who are more suited to running a country than Donald Trump.

On that basis it is impossibly difficult for me to understand their state of mind or reasoning, as much as I genuinely try to.

It’s akin to having a conversation with someone who says they don’t rate KDB. It simply doesn’t compute and, frankly, isn’t worth the time and emotional energy.

They describe themselves as covering the junction of the law and politics. It was founded by Ben Meiselas, a lawyer. In just four years or so it has amassed 3.5 million registered followers. It’s a bit technical but very good. They have attacked Trump mercilessly in the last year. They follow all his court cases meticulously. Well worth a watch. Google Meidas Touch Network.
I watch it via utube videos and live streams on important events.
