But what do they really say?
The latest election polls are tied, with Harris and Trump receiving 48% of the vote. To most people, this means that this will be an extremely close election. But to many, his means so much more.
When people are asked why they support Harris, responses include her support for reproductive rights, her sane, steady leadership, her support of a robust healthcare system, she has proven to be a strong supporter of the middle class, and her willingness to work with Republicans, and she would be a unifier.
When asked why they support Trump, people’s responses include a better economy under Trump, the fact that he will prevent immigrants from Africa and South America from coming across the border and that he’s a strong leader. Overwhelmingly, people say that Trump is like them; he talks like them and has the same values.
We all know how Trump talks and what his values are. He calls immigrants vermin, rapists, and criminals. He mocks handicapped people. He brags about sexually assaulting women. He denigrates women. He calls service men and women, veterans, and those who gave their lives for our county suckers and losers.
He admires Hitler and wishes he had generals like Hitler. He has said women who’ve had abortions should be pushed. Trump’s administration has asked the Supreme Court to legalize anti-gay discrimination and not protect transgender rights, according to Glaad.
Recently, four-star Marine General John Kelly, Trump’s former Chief of Staff, in an interview said Trump thought Hitler did “good things” and that Kelly thought Trump “met the definition of a fascist, would govern like a dictator.” As expected, Trump replied to Kelly by calling him a “degenerate and lowlife.” Once again, whenever someone disagrees with or criticizes Trump, he responds with belittling name-calling.
Now, back to those poll results. What the results really mean to people of color, the LGBTQ+ community, non-Christians, immigrants, and women who plan on having a family is quite apparent. 48% of the American people, some of your friends, neighbors, work colleagues, and even your family DON’T WANT YOU HERE!
