Well, so far he's my best bet. The other person, for whatever reasons of his own, is incapable of seeing beyond unreasoning hate.
My purpose would be to engage others in a reasonable debate where we can disagree, but we don't dismiss reality. I feel uniquely qualified because I've been on both sides. I didn't vote for either candidate, but I wouldn't have voted for Trump based on what I saw during the campaign. I found the border issue ridiculous at the time. I still think the Muslim country ban is ill-advised.
My change of heart began after watching the coverage he was receiving. As you might surmise, I have little patience for serious people pretending things that are not true. Disagreement is expected. A slant in opinion is expected. Lying is not. I was seeing articles and interviews and thinking to myself, "That just can't be true. That is not logical at all" - and so, I started looking. And what I found was not pretty.
It took many months to convince myself of the truth of it. I am still open to the possibility I may be wrong and I would love the opportunity to reasonably discuss these items, one by one.
One other thing: this forum, of all places, should know a troll when it sees one. The Trump Twitter feed is troll central. Yet they bite, again and again.
