No bias to see here folks. Move along.
Trump voters and conservatives rarely care about pissing off liberals. Remember the internet is a crazy place where those who shout the loudest get the most attention. The vast majority of people are relatively sane and aren't out to hurt anybody. I'd encourage you to have an honest conversation with a few Trump voters before making blanket accusations.
People seem to think that all Trump voters care about is the economy. In reality, most of the ones I've met care deeply about their families and their country. They tend to see left wing policies as a threat to their future and the future of their children.

- strikelaserclaw 7y agoTrump is just a first in a long line of populists yet to come from the right and left. I don't think he can fix much but i can see why someone might think he has answers (He knows how to talk). Answers to pressing problems that are more immediate to people such as growing inequality, drug problems in rural areas, loss of American global dominance, the growing feeling that politicians and the "elites" just fool people to line their own pockets etc... Black and white thinking about the "other" side is a seems to be so rampant that even smart people seem to not be able to avoid. Topics such as these are generally plagued with emotional vitriol. Most people don't vote for politicians because of logic (How could a billionaire be anti-establishment?), but don't go believing all of them are somehow your enemies or racists or bad people, most of them are just decent average people that believe something important to them will be solved by a guy like trump (it probably won't).
