Opinion of ironic and unironic Trump supporters

I hate fake edginess, so obviously the ironic ones are hard HPs.


the others suck too, obviously, I just feel sorry for them for being duped.

We get it, you're a piece of sh**t, you don't have to keep reminding us.

The "spirit" of things is important to me.  That is way outside the spirit of elections.  Doing something that is legal, but clearly not intended by the rule makers.  Like reporting posts by posters you disagree with politically even if you're not really bothered by the post.  It's just wrong.


This (tactical voting) by itself does not make one a piece of sh**t, it's more cumulative with you.

I can't tell the difference at this point, and I think for many neither can they.

For all we know, Trump might be an ironic Trump supporter.

Actually, that's probably not far from the truth.  I don't think he thought he had a chance and was just doing it because he likes to have people talk about him.  Then doorknobs started telling pollsters that they liked what he was saying.  Then the media couldn't stop talking about him (for reasons I still don't fully understand....they even ACKNOWLEDGE that they talk about him too much, then go on to keep talking about him too much).  Then it snowballed a bit.  He's still not going to win the nomination, the GOP isn't that stupid....they can't be right?  His numbers have peaked, eventually one of his MANY views that run totally contrary to his base's views is going to get traction and his numbers will plummet.
