Not really, my parents voted for him twice, and will vote for him again, but they are very careful around me to act like they would not.

“Well, they’re all pretty bad” seems to me to mean “I vote against my self interests”

It’s a funny thing to watch, people that want to like T but don’t want to be associated with the absolute chucklefucks that make up the red cap contingent amonst them, so it ends up this “yeah, but shhh!” kind of state.

And you call yourself reality boy? Clearly your parents are creating a fantasy for you.

Knowing that my father voted for trump twice doesn’t feel nice. Luckily I live in a different country.

Well, they know you’re intelligent…

While, there are outliers, it’s pretty easy to trip up a Trumpet into revealing they’re a Trumper.

One of my go to’s is to make a statement the seems to support Trump but get a detail wrong. A Trumper will immediately correct you

there has to be a “who fid you vote for” poll to correlate against, no?
