Craziest reason for voting for Trump

[whitewave]

This is the #1 most crack pot reason I have ever heard.

This was told to someone who told me, and I believe it because although I didn’t hear this myself, it’s too nutty to make up.

So what it is?

I think I kind of want people to guess to see if anyone can figure it out.

Whether you voted for Trump or not, this is really crazy.

What is the craziest reason you can think of to have voted for Trump?

 

[House Cat]

They wanted to see how far down into the shitter this country could go.

They wanted to see how low a president’s approval rating could be.

They wanted to hear a president say “you’re fired” to an entire White House staff.

They really wanted to fight in WWIII.

When they watched tv and felt angry at the POTUS and screamed “I’m f-ing smarter than this guy!!!” They wanted to really mean it this time.

Because Killary?

 

[Austina]

Because he’s got nice hair

 

[Madam Bijoux]

Because they thought he’d invite them to Mar-A-Lago.

 

[Ellen]

Cuz Melania's pretty?

 

[redwood66]

Because he likes McDonald's?

Here it is, drumroll please....

To trigger the rapture/end of the world in the biblical sense

 

[whitewave]

Housecat was pretty close.

Voting for Hilary might or might not have triggered the apocalypse, but if Trump became president, it was a sure thing.

Sadly, I know someone who voted Trump for a similar reason. He wanted to see shit go down.

 

[House Cat]

How would Trump trigger the rapture? I’m lost..

 

[lovedogs]

Yup, I've (sadly) heard this before. Thankfully not in person, because I might lose it.

 

[whitewave]

I have no idea. Maybe they think he is the antichrist and some revelations things would happen....

[Dancing Fire]

They wanted a job to support their family?
They wanna piss off 88% of the PSers?

Holy wow.

This explains a lot with some people in my life.

I am extremely cynical of organised religion, especially that espoused by fire-and-brimstone nutjobs in bible-belt America - Church and State should very definitely be separate!!

My grandfather was one of those and did the kind of damage to my family that will span generations. He abused in horrid ways and hid behind God.

I have others in my family that are good people. They support Trump and I can never reconcile why. This might be the reason...this and the pro-life issue.

 

[MarionC]

Well, my farrier voted for him because she said he would « get rid of the Problem and make America white again ». She is a devout christian.

If she's a neigh-sayer regarding diversity, it would behoove her to avoid horsing around with the political talk.

 

[AprilBaby]

Because the only person they hate more than Trump is Hillary.

I'm sorry to hear about your family issues, House Cat - one bad apple can ruin things for everyone

It seems remarkably common how a lot of people seem to hide behind religion to get away with things - I had a previous neighbour who I later discovered was using several different aliases and avoiding debt collection agencies chasing unpaid loans and debts. He was apparently a preacher at a local church.

Well, my farrier voted for him because she said he would « get rid of the Problem and make America white again ». She is a devout christian.

Perhaps if some white Americans hadn't imported people of colour as slaves and refused to update thier mindset since then, they might not have so many issues nowadays...
