    So, I'm finding that being on the internet is actually make me anxious these days. So let's attempt to be civil and take each other seriously. (Seriously!)

    I'll start with a question: my fear (and a lot of Trump critics' fear) is that the people who voted for Trump really did so out of enthusiasm for a demagogue, and are genuinely happy at the discomfort he causes all and sundry, particularly the "PC crowd" who "call everyone a racist". If this is so, that will mean that he in turn is right when he says that he could shoot someone dead on the street and his supporters wouldn't care (see video below for exact wording). So, Trump voters of this forum, here is my question to you:
    is there anything either that he has already done (like Steve Bannon, Jeff Sessions, settling the Trump University case for $25 mil, whatever) that has turned you off him even a little/given you pause for thought?
    If not, is there anything that he COULD do/fail to do that would piss you off? Or are you a Trump fan above being a Republican/loyal American/whatever? Please respond in all seriousness - I promise I will not be snarky (in this thread, at least) I am genuinely curious.

    Nothing has turned me off on Trump as of yet. I'll just let him do what he does, and I'll let you know if I disagree with it.

    Don't ask me. Ask him. I am just giving you guys some insight into the movement.

    Openly and repeatedly referring to Trump as "daddy" is literally all the insight I need. That is, well, really disturbing.

    Did I personally insult you? No. I offered an article to help the OP understand how some people think about the situation.

    If you can't handle that then I don't know what to tell ya.

    I don't want somebody else's insight. Did you vote Trump? If so, is there anything he could do/not do to lose it?

    Milo is somebody whose business is being a provocateur. He's literally trying to be a celebrity. I don't take him seriously (and neither do you). He is as far as you could get from the "average Trump voter". Can he even vote in the US?

    So - no takers? Did nobody actually vote Trump?

    So you didn't vote for him because of anything he promised? Why did you vote for him? Because he was the Republican candidate?

    Did I say you personally insulted me? I can handle it just fine. The person who can't seem to handle a very simple and non special snowflake threatening question is you.

    Isn't this intended to be an insulting question?
