Are there any democrats out there that voted for Trump?

[United Disney States]

I am a heavy democrat supporter even though I am well underaged to vote. So a question I’d like to ask. Did any of you that are a democrat vote republican? If so why?

[Bear Stearns]

If numbers are anything to go by, there should be 16 million of them. But there isn’t. They just “disappeared”.

Makes one wonder…

[Mossex]

I've met someone in the USA that is a registered Democrat, but they tend to vote more republican. They disliked how Kamala was put up in Bidens position without being elected, as well as she only talked about Trumps faults and not what she would actually do to change anything. (These are all her words, not mine obviously. I don't live in the US.)

[Ethel mermania]

Mrs mermania voted 3rd party. She couldn't bear to vote for Harris, and she dislikes trump as a human being

I was a Bernie Sanders supporter in the 2016 Democratic Party primary. Watched the establishment throw him under the bus like garbage. Watched him bend over backwards and exact no concessions from the establishment in the Democratic Party. Got angry and discouraged from politics. Saw Trump get in. Governed more like a moderate Richard Nixon. Wasn't far right. He passed a bunch of good stuff:

1. First Step Act (2018)
This bipartisan criminal justice reform law aimed to reduce recidivism and reform sentencing, particularly for nonviolent offenders. It offered more opportunities for early release for inmates and aimed to improve reentry into society.

2. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (2017)
This act lowered the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% and cut individual income taxes, increasing the standard deduction. It aimed to stimulate the economy by incentivizing investment, though its long-term impacts on national debt and wealth inequality are widely debated.

3. Veterans Affairs Accountability and Whistleblower Protection Act (2017)
Designed to address inefficiencies and accountability issues within the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), this law simplified the process of removing VA employees guilty of misconduct and provided protections for whistleblowers.

4. Right to Try Act (2018)
This law allows terminally ill patients to try experimental treatments that have passed Phase I of the FDA approval process but are not yet fully approved. It was aimed at expanding options for patients with few treatment alternatives.

5. Support for Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs)
Trump signed the FUTURE Act, which secured $255 million annually in funding for minority-serving institutions, including HBCUs, aiming to increase educational opportunities and resources for underserved communities.

6. Agricultural Improvement Act (Farm Bill, 2018)
This bill provided subsidies for farmers, expanded the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), and legalized industrial hemp, opening new market opportunities for farmers.

7. Opioid Crisis Response
The Trump administration signed several bills to address the opioid epidemic, such as the SUPPORT for Patients and Communities Act (2018), which expanded treatment options, imposed stricter prescription regulations, and increased funding for research and prevention.

After this and his support and passage of right to try medication, especially for my mom who suffers from congestive heart failure, he won me over. He won me over by late 2017 early 2018? And then I voted for him in 2024 obviously.

Trump tried to end Cooporation with Europe, Trump appeased Russia, Trump tried to kill the Environment.

Trump ended "cooperation" with Europe because European governments were just as radical as the Democratic Party. Just look at Macron in France. Every American politician seems to put other countries before their own and so did European governments. What happened? They let in tens of thousands of Middle Eastern refugees into their borders only for those same refugees to deface Catholic and Christian statues/churches, change European policies to abide by Islam, do things to European women that I won't mention inside this thread.

And yes, Trump did appease Russia, however, remained firm against Putin that he will respond to conflict with the U.S. military. By doing that, he prevented the Ukrainian War and also an American confrontation with Russia. He further displayed his threats of U.S. military response by 1) wiping out ISIS factions in Syria 2) responding to Iran by taking out a top military official which kept them at bay 3) preventing conflict/escalations with North Korea simply by humiliating KJU. Near peer conflict was avoided thanks to Trump.

And there's virtually no evidence that "Trump tried to kill the environment". If you're talking about the Paris Climate Accords, his reasoning wasn't environmental based, it was economic based. Trump withdrew because the Paris Climate Accords were costing the American taxpayer needless money for limited results and Trump being a businessman, was attempting to broker a business deal. He verbatim stated his attempts to negotiate a new deal and once negotiations were complete, would enter back into the Accords. America's involvement in all these deal is anything but productive. America doesn't even break the Top 100 of Most Polluted Countries even though we are the third most populated country in the world with the second most cars in the world and the second most producing factories in the world.

So, in hindsight, yes, he did end cooperation with Europe, yes, he did appease Russia, and no, he did not kill the environment.

Ya, read that whole thing. Not a single statistic or scientific study for the after effects of this, just a lot of explanation on how it could affect things without any significant foundation of scientific findings. (Don't worry I found them for you!)

These only reinforce my point that the Paris Climate Accords were a waste of tax dollars. CO2 emissions continued to decrease even with Trump in office and the following four years, meaning you can't use the argument that an administrations policy change doesn't show results until the next administration. Your argument is now void and irrelevant. Try again.

*** Official warning for trolling. ***

While we have rescinded the blanket ban on political nicknaming, certain nicknames and certain insults directed at public figures may still constitute trolling, especially when those nicknames or insults involve immutable characteristics and stereotypes or appear intended to anger other players. In this particular instance, calling a female politician a "whore", without any elaboration, definitely reads as trolling to me.

Again, please note that this isn't related to sexism or even to nicknaming. You're allowed to be sexist on NSG. You're allowed to engage in the nicknaming and insulting of public figures on NSG. You're not, to use another example, allowed to call Josh Stein a "kike" or Thomas Clarence a "nigger." Because that's trolling. Which is against the rules. To quote...

We may still consider nicknaming of public figures to be trolling if clearly deliberately deployed to anger other posters, but this is the same as any other posting behaviour deliberately designed to anger; the nicknaming itself is not inherently trolling.
