Makes sense. People voted for trump too

Yes, Trump is now unpopular. But.> Have you really never voted for a candidate who went on to do things you didn't agree with?If we are talking about past culpability, this one does not works at all. Trump is being exactly who he was and what he campaigned on. This is not the case of someone switching up after being elected. This is case of who openly or tacitly supported Trump, because they thought they will personally benefit on top of having fun of watching liberals suffer.By

I'd expect plenty of people voted Trump just to spite this kind of rhetoric.

Trump may be an aberration but the people that voted for him are not.

Just because someone voted from Trump doesn't mean they support him.

Why do you think people are supporting Trump ?

"At least he tells it like it is" right? Forget that he's an asshole about it. Pretty much the same reason everybody voted for Trump.

There are a lot of trump supporters on hacker news. Have no idea why.
