i spent some time speaking with a married couple who are trump supporters. she voted for trump and he voted independent (so he "could complain no matter who won")
while her beliefs and statements were questionable, they remained rooted in reality but seemed to have an overall sentiment of "things are fine the way they are".
he however was a different story.
while the topic began light, referring to a lack of unbiased journalism in general, it quickly spiraled to presidential discussions and fake news.
the amount of misinformation this man spewed as fact was torrential. his blatant hypocrisy showing light with every other statement.
it went about like this...
"this bad news about HRC is definitely why i couldn't vote for her, she's a crook and a criminal."
"michelle obama is a man and they adopted their daughters"
"obama supported BLM and called for black to kill police"
however, if any counterpoint was spoken about trump, it was met with "fake news" and "i won't believe it". note that he says won't , not don't. a literal refusal.
when pressed how he could call all news fake, but still be so adamantly against the obamas and clintons, he had no answer.
when asked how all possible information on a person (trump) could be fake or misinformation, he had no answer.
when asked to review his stance and position on these topics, he grasped at straws using his own ignorant anger as justification for his beliefs, complaining about (legal) immigrants who have come here and voted "one of their own" into office referring to somalis in minnesota (i had no idea what he was on about).
He swore 80,000 illegal immigrants had somehow illegally voted and caused this controversy.
i simply stated, if they were illegal, the votes wouldn't have counted, also, it would be the largest voter fraud to have ever hit the mainstream media, neither of which came to fruition.
after a few raised voices, the conversation ended on a civil yet extremely sour note as i decided to leave.
i was so emotionally overwhelmed by the depth of the racist / ignorant beliefs that i had to pull over and cry discussing with my girlfriend, my complete disbelief to the fact that people like that exist in real life, not just as internet trolls.

- You should be able to live in a society of like minded people, sharing similar beliefs, goals and values, something of a homogenous population like Japan_niko
- not saying they don't have their issues but they're a fraction of the shit going on in the states. Way too many interests from way too many groups of people/_niko
