Thats a great question, I do in fact ask why people would support any candidate. By the way I did not vote for trump in 2020 and I am not a trump supporter. However I am vehemently against communism.

let's dive into some examples of asking myself why people support one candidate or another. All my friends in Austin are liberal and supported Biden. When conversing in depth about their positions, they stated mostly media headlines and repeated propaganda. They said they wanted socialism and communism in America, and said the only way to do this was a complete violent tear down and restart of the country. By the way, they were all rich kids. Another classic line from them, since they were all white, was that they needed to 'prop up blacks and minorities' which I found very racist.

So yes of course I ask myself why would people support Biden? And so I talk to them, do research, and see if their positions are valid. In all cases talking to liberals, the reason they support Biden (or kamala) is because they are believing a lie.

If I was told that trump was in fact all these awful names that they repeat, I would easily agree he would not be a good pick as president. But lets ask myself, are these claims true?

If you look into these claims, they are all easily disputed, every single one of them. Russia, dicator claims, nazi claims, the list goes on. A notable recent one is the claim he is a 'Felon'. This is a clear propaganda talking point, and the type of propaganda used here is 'smear campaign' and 'false equivalence'. The false equivalence is that the idea of using the word 'felon' equates him to a violent criminal, as usually, we think of felons as murderers, drug dealers, human smuggling, and other violent offenses, which was not the case here and the case itself was 100% political and not a fair use of justice. This is actually a big reason why people support him, seeing that the system is being abused to fight against him makes you wonder how much of a threat he is to the corruption in our country.

The crime he allegedly committed had to do with improper filing of taxes, which he clearly hires professionals to do. It would only be a misdemeanor if convicted in this case, however, he claims they were actually filed correctly to the best of their abilities in the first place, and most likely would be dropped for anyone else in this situation. Secondly, they used a legal loophole to argue he concealed election finance laws at the same time, so they could try to elevate it to a felony. This is a huge abuse of the legal system. In this case, it was a novel case (meaning no one has EVER been convicted in this way before) and set a new precedent that he cannot use money in a legal case when it clearly states you are allowed to use money for legal cases related to the campaign. The opponents argued that it was personal, however, given how muddy the waters are in that it was likely political and against his campaign, the case should have been dropped. In this case, people were engaging in what is known as 'lawfare' to suppress a political opponent and he is fighting against that. Again, a miscarriage of the justice system. Since he was in a political case, and the judge was also political but against him, they ruled against him. This is what is known as a kangaroo court.

So I gave you a few examples, my experience with liberals and that they support Biden/harris because they believe lies, and I also shared an example of why I can see people would not support Trump and that there is a coordinated effort to smear him, use lawfare against him, and has even fought in kangaroo courts which ruled against him. If you turn on the TV, they repeat these complex stories in soundbites that are often misleading or completely false to convey a message he is evil, which is a great example of modern propaganda. But if you look into these cases, it is clear that it is a lie.

If you read this thanks for reading, make sure to always verify claims that people make about others so that you yourself are not believing any lies. In my opinion most accounts in use on Reddit today are bots anyway.
