Trump’s Supporters Are Doing Something They Haven’t Done Much Before
Making appeals to vote for Trump in spite of who he is, not because of who he is
There’s a pretty lengthy “cut-and-paste” type message going around out there, which by now more than 50% of the Trump supporters I follow have shared with their followers, if not the world. It wraps up like this:
“Although I don’t give blanket approval to everything our President has done or said in the past, I do support him as our president! I am not voting against Joe Biden, but I am voting against every thing that the party backing him and propping him up stands for.”
And earlier on asserts:
“I am not voting for a man. I am not rallying for a personality. I am not pushing a person.”
No one’s put their name to this piece of writing, which is typical for this type of thing. Partially so everybody who subsequently shares it can kind of claim it as “theirs”. Because the message is more effective if it seems like a collective idea.
And yes, I still have quite a few Trump supporter social media contacts. Many are relatives, actually. Still, I like to connect with everybody, and keep on top of what everyone’s thinking and saying and doing.
