Trump supporting

[citation needed]

[–] [email protected] 32 points 12 hours ago (3 children)

I was prepared to argue with you on this, but after reading the article, you're right. It never says he supported trump or voted for him. The closest thing I can see them using for that assumption on their part was that he opposed vaccine mandates in 2021. I understand the venn diagram of people that opposed vaccines and supported trump was almost a perfect circle, but ALMOST doesn't really say it definitively.

My anti-vax brother voted Hillary in 2016, Biden in 2020, and Harris in 2024.

But we aren't white, which is probably the #1 reason why he didn't just become a fully unhinged conservative.

Just because someone is a democrat, doesn't mean they can't simultaneously hold beliefs rooted in conspiracy theories.

Remember when anti-vaxxers were liberal hippie vegan "all natural" gender studies majors and not trucknutsexuals?

Yeah I know plenty of democrat voting anti vaxers.

Him living in a town of 202 people in the Deep South while homeschooling his kids and living in deep poverty is a pretty solid indicator too but he could just as easily be an ultra libertarian or sovereign citizen nut too

How could he have voted for Trump?

[–] [email protected] 22 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I'm not saying this is the case, because the article doesn't support it. I'm just here to provide an example that answers your question:

Cuban immigrants oppose democrats because socialism = communism = bad, but they don’t see Trump doing this shit??

Don't have to vote for him to support him. Retweet him, echo his bullshit, etc.

So I'm asking how he could have voted. Nothing else.
