Is there anything Trump supporters like?

And I say this with the utmost sincerity. They are not happy. They are fed a constant diet of 24/7 propaganda that rots their brains and molds them to the right wing machine. And in the last 3 years they won't:

- Buy or own Keurig devices
- Eat Oreos
- Shop at Nordstrom or Macy's
- Watch NFL games or see them in person
- Buy Nike products
- Go to a Starbucks
- Drink Pepsi
- Drink Budweiser
- Buy anything from Amazon
- Eat Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream
- Use iPhones
- Drive Fords
- Subscribe to DirecTV
- Watch a Star Wars movie
- Buy from any women's fashion company that stop selling Ivanka merchandise (and there's a lot of them)

So what do they do? Sit at home and stare at the blank walls?

...if Daniel Suarez or Bubba Wallace win on Sunday.

Bubba starts inside 7 and Daniel starts inside 12. There’s always the chance. You never know what will happen at Daytona.

As a dyed in the wool liberal, I also will not--

Buy or own Keurig devices
- Watch NFL games or see them in person
- Go to a Starbucks
- Use iPhones
- Drive Fords
- Subscribe to DirecTV
- Buy from any women's fashion company that stop selling Ivanka merchandise (and there's a lot of them)

I hope I got the copy and paste and delete right.

We didn't go down to Colorado Springs on a whim to buy some stupid shirt. I can do that at Dick's in Denver.

He doesn’t like anything.

After he sees his taxes (the deductions he relied on are gone) he won’t like Trump either.

It's an army of bullies who are desperate to blame their lot in life on the 'other'. They are the same type of human that used to find a witch to burn because the crops failed.

Virtually every related thread here misses the point completely. His supporters are not shamed. They don't prioritize boycotts. They sit at home and agree with him on virtually everything. They can't imagine why everyone doesn't agree with Trump on everything.

I had another sample on Wednesday and Thursday. My 76 year old Republican aunt had a medical procedure which required two prescriptions, and for someone to stay with her at her home and take care of her for 24 hours. I volunteered to do that. But I knew what it meant...I would be subject to the local Fox channel throughout my stay. She does not have internet or cable. She sits in the living room and watches that Fox affiliate all day.

That Miami channel 7 allows Trump to speak unencumbered on everything. They have 2 hours of news from 4-6 in the afternoon and it is one Trump quote after another. They use his picture boldly on screen in dominating fashion. Between Trump quotes it is another right wing vehicle, like the new Florida governor Ron DeSantis. I can already understand that his approval rating is going to soar because that Fox affiliate gives him almost as much air time as Trump, and always in flattering fashion.

That is the reality of Trump supporters. My aunt was nodding her head in agreement on everything. She had two elderly friends visit. Likewise they watched the Fox affiliate and agreed with everything, praising Trump and his determination to build that wall.

When my aunt went to the bathroom briefly and I clicked the channel at 6:30 to the NBC Nightly News she got upset and immediately clicked it back to the Fox affiliate.

sub-human creatures that sit around and hate on people whom they've never met. They have always been hateful and selfish, which is why I (personally) have never been friends with people like them, and stayed away from family members that believe the same. I didn't need to know that they voted/love the "sack of fart breath' or wear a red hat to approach or befriend them. They give off a stench of toxic fumes and the energy that comes from them is a muddy green/brown sick reminiscent of nuclear waste. There is nothing normal or good about them and they are liars and inauthentic, dishonorable, hypocrites. IF any of them has boycotted any of those items, they do so without thinking for themselves only being told to do so by someone they think is smart and whom they believe is 'popular'.


What they do all day is, stay inside their stench filled living rooms watching fox 'news' 24/7 and talk to the only people that agree with them, because they do not understand normalcy.
