Seeing as you seem to find it inconceivable that anyone would ever vote for Trump, here are a few people laying out the basic reasons why. Note the lack of frothing-at-the-mouth MAGAist rage in their reasonings.

I suspect you'll ignore this because it doesn't align with your worldview but fuck it.

‘Now I like him’: Some black voters in Georgia see Trump as a real option

ALBANY, Georgia — The pews were filling up inside Mount Zion Baptist Church, where former President Bill Clinton was set to launch his rural campaign swing for Vice President Kamala Harris in this Democratic stronghold bordering a sea of rural red Georgia.

In the back, Joseph Parker said he was thrilled the Arkansan was coming. But it had been nearly a quarter-century since Clinton left office and, Parker said, “Things were really different then.”

This year, he said he’s voting for former President Donald Trump, the first time the 72-year-old has cast a ballot for a Republican presidential candidate.

“Trump’s a man of his word. What he says he’s gonna do, he does,” Parker said, after initial reluctance to reveal his preference. “And everything is so high now — groceries high, clothes, everything, gas. And four years ago, it wasn’t that high. And so people see the difference in Kamala Harris and Trump, and they want some of what they had four years ago. And I do, too.”

Arthur Beauford, a 28-year-old from Marietta, said he decided to vote for the first time this election — for Trump, despite his family members still being “Democrat, all the way.” Beauford said it’s not just him, that he keeps hearing similar remarks from other young black men nearly every time he is at the gym: Comments about Trump being “funny.” “Entertaining.” Even “brave,” Beauford said, noting it’s not uncommon to hear his peers talking about an unspecified “they” who are out to get the former president.

“I’m not necessarily the biggest fan of Trump,” Beauford said, “but I’ll definitely take Trump over Harris,” adding that he was impressed by Trump’s business experience, while suggesting that Harris, a former prosecutor, California attorney general and senator, wasn’t qualified and “just seems to have been given everything” in her career.

Samuel Kem, a 25-year-old black voter from Kennesaw, cast his ballot for Biden in 2020, in large part because of what he said was news coverage suggesting Trump didn’t lead well during the pandemic. But Kem, who graduated last year from the Savannah College of Art and Design in Atlanta, said he now lives with his family due to the high cost of living and also changed his mind on “migration issues” over the last four years.

“I wouldn’t say he’s perfect or anything,” Kem said of Trump, adding that he thinks Trump should do more on climate change. “He will get the job done. He’s very talented in, like, diplomatic relations with other countries with mutual respect.”

Republicans are working to turn out more new Trump voters. Walking through a residential neighborhood in Lilburn this week, several women from the Faith & Freedom Coalition moved from door to door following instructions on an app the organization uses for its massive nationwide field operation. Among the conservative Christian organization’s paid door knockers was 47-year-old Fabienne Durocher, a member of the Haitian community who moved to Lawrenceville three years ago after living in New York. In the last election, Durocher supported Biden.

“I’m going to tell you the truth. I didn’t like him. But now, I like him,” Durocher said of Trump. “I don’t like when Democrats are talking about abortion. I don’t want that. So I said, for that, I’m going to change my mind. I’m going to vote for Trump.”

Durocher is among the Creole-speaking door knockers whom the Faith & Freedom Coalition has employed this election, and they’ve translated door-handle voting guides into the language in an effort to not just reach African American voters, but Haitian Americans as well.

Asked about Trump’s recent false accusations about Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio, eating neighbors’ household pets, Durocher said, “I keep seeing that on the TV, I don’t know if it is true. But I really don’t like when they’re talking bad about Trump.”

Howard Franklin, a Democratic strategist in Georgia, said Trump’s “wealth and his celebrity and his willingness to at least speak unlike a politician, unvarnished — I don’t think it would do Democrats any good to deny there’s some appeal there.”

So what, exactly, changed in Georgia since 2020, when mid-October polling averages showed Biden with a narrow lead over Trump, and voter surveys now show Trump with a slim edge over Harris?

“Let’s just boil it down to good old fashioned buyer’s remorse,” said Jason Shepherd, the former chair of the Cobb County Republican Party. “People have been hit in the wallet. All the sudden, all those mean tweets and crazy comments from Trump just don’t seem as important as a positive balance on your bank account.”

No, you're voting for a barbecue sauce spray tanned slut who sucked his way to every job he ever had ... in his daddy's firm.

Was behind a Trumper today at a retail store. His credit card was declined and then he started screaming expletives about big banks and other nonsense.

Trumper’s are very easy to understand. They blame everything but themselves for their troubles, and Trump feeds into that perfectly. Just a bunch of fucked up man-children the women they were raped like CherubCow,

Typebait.

Seeing a black bird does not prove all birds are black. There are always case examples that run against general comments.

Or were you suggesting your example proves blacks will generally vote for Trump?

I'm guessing it isn't quantity of dicks sucked but who those dicks are attached to that gets you a Senate seat.

You white assholes have gotten so brazenly racist and have cheated a lot more. Same place, an old white guy tried to cut me off when there was a clear stop sign. Then he parked in the handicap spot.

All these motherfucking Trumpers think the system is cheating them and are cheating back.
