Look at any polling you want and you'll find Biden leading by a mile. So, who the hell is the kind of person that votes for Trump, then goes for Biden? I tell you one thing, I bet they ashamed to admit it. Silent fucking majority.

Yeah but I thought that was pretty evident the first go-around.

Their blind hatred of Hillary made them subconsciously ignore that.

Trump was some shiny new thing on the block. Some businessman who can help AMERICA get its respect back!

He did the opposite and has made America an even bigger laughing stock.

I'm sure there are at least some. There were well-meaning people that got duped by the populist rhetoric and came to realize that he's given them none of the things he promised.

Now, show me someone who says they didn't vote for Trump the first time but are voting for him now, and I'll show you a person who is lying off their ass.

People who really distrusted Hillary Clinton, but aren't necessarily strong Republicans. There were a lot of them!

Being on the left it's comments like this that bother me. I don't care what shame they feel or why they voted for Trump in the first place. We need to make sure we don't push them back into a corner where they vote for Trump because they're being called out. We need to work together.

I voted for Hillary but I will admit Trump's "drain the swamp" lie and kill TPP were a little appealing.

I should have wrote in Bernie instead of voting Hillary.

Why, would you look at that. It's someone who is definitely being truthful and definitely didn't vote for Trump in 2016 too.

I'll admit that I voted for Trump in '16, I believed that he had me and my community's interests more in mind than Hilary's. Well, I was fucking wrong. I'll be voting for Biden 100%, I don't agree with him on most things, but Trump was completely inept in handling this virus, and at this point, it's clear he only his own interests in mind, despite what he says.

Based on his primary model which doesn't really apply in this situation. People aren't voting Biden out of enthusiasm for Biden, simply because Trump is so much worse

my dad's a good old boy from Texas, and he voted for Trump because he fell for all the shit about how what we need is someone who is not a politician but a businessman who will run the country like a business and get the economy back up and running and all that shit. and, not that he'd admit it, but also because Trump's a racist and he's a racist and he feels empowered like all the racists do when he sees Trump spewing his hateful rhetoric, and he takes that as "permission" for him to also spew his hateful rhetoric unapologetically.

but he says he's not going to vote for Trump again and that he doesn't support him anymore. what was the breaking point, you ask? was it the bungled handling of the pandemic and the 100,000+ lives lost because of that? no. was it because he realized that Trump was lying about basically everything he says and that he has not done anything to actually improve the economy, and in all likelihood set it back to a point where it will take years to foster healthy diplomatic and international economic relations again when someone who actually knows what the fuck they were doing gets into office? nope, not that either. it was Trump's handling of the BLM protests and the protests surrounding the death of George Floyd. specifically, Trump's actions of throwing more gasoline on the fire and causing things to escalate even further than they would have if he had shown any sympathy or understanding or made any concessions.

but hey, isn't that a good thing, then, wouldn't you think? my dad doesn't want to see race riots and he doesn't want a president who will do nothing but make race riots worse? could it be because he understands the plight of what black people are going through in today's society and is learning to show sympathy for them despite a lifetime of being a racist good old boy from Texas? lolno. it was the breaking point for him because he believes it will lead to a race war, and that race war will lead to the loss of life of white people. that's literally his only reasoning. he doesn't want to see white people get killed in a race war against black people. and he's certain that that's what Trump is going to drive us toward. he doesn't give a fuck if black people die, but if there was a race war, white people would die too, and that he can't abide. so yeah. that's my pops for ya.
Sounds reasonable to me. I guess we can't help if we get duped by politicians sometimes. Hell I voted for Ross Perot in 92, still don't know why. Just didn't understand things I guess.

Registered Republican but I didn't vote for him the first time. He's a bully and doesn't have Presidential demeanor. I just flat out don't like him.

I think most of the die hards that have always thought he was the most amazing guy ever in 2016 still feel the same way, but I know quite a few people in 2016 who were basically not really a fan, didn't vote for him in the primaries, but were republicans and had been preconditioned to hate Hillary since the 1990's, so kind of shrugged and figured he would say something dumb once in a while, but would have smart people around him and his actually policy would be okay.

He's lost most of those votes... >_>

I know one person who said he didn't trust Trump to do what he promised in 2016 so voted third party but is happy with him now and is supporting him. I don't know what it was he wanted accomplished exactly. >_>
