OP

(3,116 posts)1. Agree. His character is beneath contempt. He's an amoral, narcissistic, lying sociopath
Bettie
(17,099 posts)3. I tend to assume that people who support him are
the very same as he is. At very least, they admire those traits.

(296 posts)2. Do you really believe that anyone "respects" him?
Give me another word. Respect is much too decent a word to apply to Trump...ever!
Maybe, worships, fears, identifies with, follows, surrenders to, ??? But "respects?" NO

(3,116 posts)5. I believe many voted for him simply because he was the Republican candidate.
They do so out of habit, like the hamster hitting the pedal for food.

Different Drummer
(8,582 posts)4. Agreed.
He is everything I find detestable and reprehensible.

(11,890 posts)9. In the past, I assumed that Republican voters were patriotic if misguided.
Those days are gone. I now assume that any Republican voter is disloyal.
