I thought I would start  a thread for some sharing of thoughts for those who lean Progressive/Liberal or Moderate Democrats or Moderate Never Trump GOP'ers.  I would respectfully ask that our conservative friends frequent the many other threads available to you. The constant personal attacks on the character, integrity, honesty, and even the intelligence of good folks like Cardsfan, vector, and Outsider is just not fun for me. I love to laugh and have fun and poke fun of political figures(they very much deserve it). There is no humor or fun to be had with most on the far right, who are filled with negativity and a lot of misdirected hate and anger. 

 As I've mentioned before, I like those guys on the other side but I am done with the "King of Hate," who has spent way too much time on Parler and Gab , bathing in hate and wild , no-evidence conspiracy theories. Civility doesn't live  there anymore(if it ever did).

This is a discussion thread for progressives/liberals  or moderate never-Trumpers  who want to discuss your views without being insulted , bullied, or demeaned.  If you voted for Trump, this is not your thread.


The first topic I want to bring up is one I've spoken of before and a question I have asked of many people, both Trump followers and Trump detractors.  Why do you think a man like Donald Trump, a failed businessman and a failed human being holds such an appeal to those in his far right base?  Does my theory make sense or do you have one of your own? This is a question that I have pondered for a very long time. I find Trump's allure to these people  both fascinating and disturbing.

Cardsfan ,  vector,  Outsider ,  Mister D,    A Tribe Called Quest   ????    Any of you guys have thoughts on why those on the right, including evangelicals, fell hard for a sham of a man like the carnival barking , grab 'em by the p**** , failed businessman  ?

Feel free to discuss this or throw out another topic that you want to discuss with your like-minded brethren.
