It started as a Facebook post, and grew from there into a whole article. I really wanted to answer the question for those who had no idea what is happening this election. The media is full of all the reasons not to vote for Trump, yet confounding that are millions of people who support him and don’t believe the polls, or much of anything else that is said about Trump. So my friend assumed that we who support Trump are merely apologists, and aren’t we tired of defending all the stupid things he says everyday. Disagreeing with the whole premiss, I started to answer. What follows is that answer:
First you should be addressing Trump supporters, not Trump apologists. No supporter thinks of themselves as an apologist. We feel the Left has to apologize for their mistreatment of Trump. And as someone who thought Ted Cruz was the best candidate, because he knows the Constitution better than any candidate, and knows how to operate within the limitations, contrary to the current White House occupant, I still have come to support Trump for a variety of reasons. Let me try to explain why Trump is so popular. If you look at Trump through the usual Leftist media slander of racist, sexist, misogynist, nazi, xenophobe, then you won't understand a thing I am saying. You have to understand Trump as a Trump supporter does. And we understand that all those labels only came out when Trump declared for President, so they are completely irrelevant. We know those are just part of the demonization by the Leftist media to get Hillary elected and it's all right out of the playbook. We've seen it all before.
