What Leftists Don't Understand

 This was a subject brought up in a website I frequent. Kindof like a giant forum. The question is "What do liberals not understand about Trump supporters". This response was from a guy whose name is Tommy Holland. I kinda wanted to pick it apart. First of all, this dude admits to being left-leaning, which is very important to this story. He says he grew up in a small Tennessee town, a state known for it's majority republican citizenship. Tommy does not say anything I haven't heard before from leftists, I want to give my reaction based on my own experience with Trump supporters compared to leftists. No "whataboutisms", none of that. But speaking as someone who has actually been a leftist for most of her life, until quite recently, and from a small town herself, I think I can speak here for the majority of Trump supporters.

He starts off with this...

I KNOW his supporters and I know them WELL.

Just like I know leftists very well.

What liberals don’t understand is that Trump supporters are absolutely everything they suspect.

Likewise, leftists are everything Trump supporters say they are.

Liberals consistently give Trump crowd WAY too much credit. They try too hard to sympathize. Liberals say Trump supporters are mistreated and feel left out and so on. I’m here to tell you that’s all nonsense. 

There should be a "the" in that first sentence here. I've met a few nice liberals, but no nice leftists. And frankly, I never met a Trump supporter who cared what leftists feel about them. We just want you to leave us alone. And if you have a job to do, treat Trump supporters the same way you'd treat other leftists.

The truth is that Trump supporters really, truly are UNIMAGINABLY STUPID. I’m not kidding. I’m not being cruel. They are legitimately some of the dumbest, most ignorant people you will meet.

I literally hear this paragraph from leftists every other day! It's nothing new to us that leftists think we're "stupid". I think most of that coming from leftists though is projection. Leftists are so good at projecting, they don't even realize they're doing it themselves.

They know nothing outside of their small town. They frankly have zero business voting at all because they are incredibly irresponsible voters. 

Trump supporters are actually the MOST responsible voters! I've seen what leftist/progressive policies are doing to the rest of the world, and it is not good. Our goal is to keep America running smoothly. Leftist's goal is to destroy American culture.

They don’t understand basic economics.

If he's talking about the prices of everything now, that is not Trump's fault. It's Biden's.

They don’t know where other states are located, much less other countries.

I recently saw a video of someone who did interviews with leftist college students, and when asked to find Iran on a map, the leftists couldn't find it. Trump supporters they talked to found it very easily!

They tend to be embarrassingly and unapologetically racist and homophobic. 

I know what leftists call "racist" and "homophobic", and their point of view on that kind of thing does not matter! Most of the things leftists think are "racist" or "homophobic" are not racist and homophobic, it's just the whole truth.

They adore Fox News

LOL! Even Trump doesn't like FOX News!!!

they go to church but have never read the Bible.

Admittedly, I don't know the Bible by heart. I know the 10 commandments, though not in order. I know the Psalms chapters. Everything else, I look up randomly when I need answers.

They don’t understand how the electoral college functions. I’m very serious about this.

Neither do leftists. In fact, you leftists wanted to abolish the electoral college for no other reason than Trump won, and Hillary didn't.

These are absolutely deplorable people. And Hillary Clinton was right to say so- the Clintons from Arkansas know these people well.

Hillary Clinton can go fuck herself. A lot of her colleagues are a lot worse than Trump.

You know why these complete idiots love Trump? Because Trump says stupid, bonehead, cruel, ugly things and they LOVE it.

Uuuh, that ain't why I love Trump. I first got to like Trump in 2017, seeing how he ran the country then, and him keeping the majority of his promises. As for the "stupid, bonehead, cruel, ugly things" Trump ain't no worse than any other politician! And you know it too! You just don't want to admit it.

That’s all, folks. There’s no reasoning with these people.

I'm sure every time you have tried "reasoning" with Trump supporters, you blew your top! When people start yelling is when they know they have no real argument. That's also where we are going to stop listening.

They are racist, cruel, mean dummies. And Trump knows this so he says stupid things and of course his followers love it.

From this sentence alone, I can tell Tommy boy here has never really spoken to many Trump supporters. I can tell you, in the relatively few years I have been a right-winger, the friendliest people I've ever met have been Trump supporters. You leftists, you lose your shit if we wear a damn hat just because you disagree with it. And I know you leftists did not perpetuate that by yourselves. Obama did that to you! And that's not even "racist" to say. It's the truth. Again, you know it too. You just don't want to admit it.

It’s not hard to manipulate people who are so angry and stupid.

We only get angry because you leftists are so stupid. You people get angry because we refuse to call a man in a dress a "she".

And they are a surprisingly reliable voting bloc. They ALWAYS vote- quite the opposite of the left, which one has to BEG to get them to vote. 

That's a lie, and he knows it. I've known a lot of leftists, every one of them voted. But even if they didn't, I guess that's a lucky thing for those of us who do not want to see America fall.

And so there’s a huge voting bloc that is super reliable that is incredibly stupid and loves casual cruelty to minorities and “undesirables”? 

Here we go with this shit again! ALL leftists think just because we don't want illegal immigrants here, we MUST hate minorities!! Like every other leftist hasn't believed that before. This kid is in an echo chamber! And he's doing a great job of playing back those echoes like a good little leftist.

Why not take advantage of them? That’s exactly what Trump has done. It was easy as pie.

If it's so easy, why do you leftists always turn and walk away when we practically own you?

I grew up with these people, it’s really not hard.

You may have grown up with them, but it sounds like that's all you did. You paid no attention to what they are really like.

And BTW, I looked up when FOX News supposedly admitted they lie all the time. That's a favorite argument of the leftists when it comes to FOX News. They love to say "FOX News admitted they don't tell the truth". I decided one day to look that up, and the truth is FOX News NEVER said that! All they said was the Greg Gutfield, and Jesse Waters shows were strictly for entertainment purposes. That is not like saying they lied. And the same can be said for The View on ABC. Their show is for nothing but entertainment too. Even though they will tell you they get their information from actual, reliable sources. But back in 2015, one of the hosts of that show actually told Trump that they were being paid to say bad things about him. Then, they try to pass that off as facts. Everything they say about Trump, especially Sunny Hostin and Joy Behar, is just their opinions. Not facts, opinions! And Whoopi Goldberg just flat-out lies.

This morning, I heard Trump may have had a mini stroke. I hope he is OK. I'll be adding a special prayer for his well-being today. I'm also excited because I am expecting more birds to arrive today. I cannot wait till they get here!
