Current Events > Do you consider yourself right of center but dislike Trump?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I don't see many people here that fall under this. Do you exist? Why don't you like Trump? What would you rather see?

Glad we got this out of the way.

Yes.

I'm actually slightly center left, according to the political compass test I took awhile back. I think each side had good and bad points. I never supported Donald Trump. I knew he was a meme candidate, but I was unwilling to vote for Hillary. The spiteful Hillarycrats shat on people like me that were supportive of Bernie Sanders. We still get vote shamed.

I voted third party anyway and I am not to blame for this. Suck it up for another couple years and we'll move on. These people just need to fucking get over it.

Definitely me.

Trump is beyond the typical right-left thing. He's a populist and he's in it to stroke his ego.

Trump is a dangerous narcissistic moron.

McCain (RIP)

I'd say I'm left wing, but was receptive to voting Republican back in 2012-2014. I figured our politics weren't that divisive and I should spend my life allowing for either side

He pretty much ruined that, but maybe next time

I consider myself slightly left of center on most issues (biggest exceptions being abortion and criminal justice, where I'm hard right; and cannabis reform, where I'm very left), and the only justification I would've had for voting Trump would be "Democrat candidate was worse and third party is a wasted vote".

Though not as extreme, our major parties where I live are shit too; I'm glad third party votes actually do count for something here.

I would consider myself pretty Right of Center. I guess I definitely would be more fiscally conservative. Socially.... I can't exactly say I am progressive, I definitely hold some conservative beliefs, but I am not opposed to things like gay marriage and I am not hardcore pro-life, but I would say that I lean pro-life in most instances. I'm not a fan of the drug culture that seems to be around, I wish people could find ways beyond drugs and alcohol to feel happy or relaxed, but I guess at this point, I accept the legalization of marijuana, and hope we can turn our attention to educating people about it instead of using scare-tactics such as threatening jail time if they use it as a preventative measure.

When it comes to Trump, I will admit, I did vote for him, and I probably will vote for him in 2020. When it comes to actual policy, there is quite a bit I like from him, and I definitely was thinking about the Supreme Court picks when it came to voting for him. When it comes to his actions, how he represents the USA, I am not a fan of him in that regard. I don't understand why he feels the need to stir up controversy, or why he continuously uses the presidential platform to attack individual American citizens that he should be representing, not taunting. It bothers me that he doesn't condemn the people using his name to do racist and harmful things. When it comes to his policies, with a Republican majority, his administration has done a poor job at using this to its full advantage, which is why the wall will never happen, even with 4 more years potentially, or why the way he went about cutting Obamacare was weak. The Republicans as a whole really dropped the ball when it came to finding a suitable replacement for Obamacare, and if the best they could do was a weakened version of that, then they might as well not have tried.

I wish Trump would have condemned Saudi Arabia, but it appears America bows down to them. Also, I don't understand why we bow down to the oil industry, it is dying, and it's time we stop trying to keep it alive, it's time we finally recognize other sources of energy are the future.

Im pretty left of center and like Trump

I usually vote republican and would consider myself right wing, I guess. Although, compared to most people who grow up in a rural area, Im pretty liberal. I find trump to be an absolute embarrassment. Considering the President is the main face of our country at any given time, being presidential is arguably one of the most important aspects of the job and Trump clearly fails miserably at that.

I voted against Obama both times but I always at least respected the fact that he was a great ambassador for the country.
