Dissapointingly, I got the exact response I thought I would.

> I spent quite a lot of time reading and interactimg with conservatives and republicans. I am from that environment.

I don't believe you. I am not conservative; I am not American, and I can tell you haven't.

> Claim it was rejection of both parties is self serving bullshit. It feel good sound good story and nothing more.

Why? Because you say so? I don't even understand how it is "self serving bullshit". People were fed up with run-of-the-mill politics. Even on the left wing you had many people that were radical (that have become less so over time) entering into politics around that time.

I also must have imagined reading all the comments and seeing all those videos that people posted around that time, specifically on the theme that they were voting for Trump because they believe he was something different.

I remember listening to many hours of people just talking in Skype, Google Hangouts and similar places at the time. I get really annoyed when people try to gaslight me about events that I was paying a lot of attention to at the time.

> That one is waaay more about "black man not valid American" thing then about "funny" in an abstract way.

I think it is funny to get CNN to broadcast your rally for you based on deception, because CNN wanted him to something racist and he didn't. He trolled them because they are predictable.

> Yes they were making bad choices, knowingly. Really, that is their choice. You need to do introspectiom if you still need to defend them and their choices.

Apparently you can read minds now. How do you know? I really doubt anyone said, "I know Trump is an evil man, but I am going to vote for him," or something to that effect. If you claim you have. You are lying.

> There is really no reason to play this "only left of center can be criticised, impossible for far right and Trumpians to do something bad" game.

I am not. The fact that you can't recognise that because I have take on Trump that is sympathetic to MAGA / Trump supporters is ridiculous. Most Trumps aren't far-right either. You say you listen to Republicans and Conservatives, but you clearly aren't if you are claiming that.

I think, TBH, you are lying to me. So I don't want to talk any further. Go away.
