Do you guys not know what “appeal” means?? He is all of those things at his core, but do you think 50% of voters are like “I LOVE THAT HES RACIST!! I LOVE THAT HE LIES ALL THE TIME”. Your viewpoint is ignorant and dangerous.
We know they aren’t literally saying those words, but that’s because they do not think they are racist.
They think it’s okay to discriminate against someone because of their skin color or nationality. It’s their right.
They think it’s alright to impose their beliefs on others without middle ground. It’s my god’s word.
They think there’s nothing wrong with a little sexual abuse and misconduct. Happens all the time, get over it.
They think those things, and they are of course wrong. So while they don’t use the words you describe in your comment, in actuality, that is indeed what they are saying.
Even if everything you said is true - that’s still not his appeal to his base. Those are things that they are comfortable writing off due to his actual appeal. His actual appeal is something that you and most commenters on reddit would never verbalize because you’d rather stick to your simplistic worldview that every single trump voter is a racist, misogynist, etc.
Feel free to Google “what do people like about Donald Trump”. Nothing I say will change your mind about half the country being racist misogynists and nothing more. Just living villainous caricatures.
To summarize the first search result, the answer is christo-fascism. Trump has used Christianity to make Americans swallow fascism. A lot of them are also racists and misogynists.
Christianity, for sure. But maybe if you’re trying to actually find out what people like about Donald Trump, every single one of your sources being “people who hate Donald Trump” isn’t the smartest approach.
You’re going to ignore my very reasonable response in favor of “WELL I COULD ONLY CLICK ON THE FIRST RESULT GOOGLE GAVE ME”. You’re unwilling to take your head outta the sand, and I’m unwilling to make any more good-faith arguments to obstinate, willfully ignorant people. Have a good one.
I’m not saying they don’t care about things. I’m saying they’re deliberately and in the face of plain, factual evidence, supporting a rapist who attempted a coup of the United States.
Does that make them racists and misogynists? I guess it depends if supporting racism and misogyny makes one those things.
But the racism and misogyny are anchors to what, for lack of a better expression, is trumps “appeal”. If they can’t see that, they’re either refusing to see it or are genuinely stupid, or are wildly misinformed.

Lol, then what are they saying?

So whyn’cha hip us to his magical appeal then. We’re all waiting.

I put in the exact google search you suggested. So why are you directing this criticism at me?
