I Asked, She Answered, I Responded

Trump Supporter and Non-Trump Supporter Share Views

We went to the same Catholic high school in Florida. We’re a year apart in age. We’re both Caucasian. I’ll identify her as K. She avidly supports Donald Trump. I avidly don’t, and will support Joe Biden.

How This Started

K responded privately to my inquiry to my Facebook friends:

D: For my friends still supporting DT (you’re not blocked because you’ve been civil), please read this (Heather Cox Richardson’s Oct. 2, 2020 post) and tell me how you square with his administration’s deception, for one.

I’m also curious as to how his underlying theme of nationalism /racism fits with your values?

(Since I couldn’t get my efficient table imported into Medium’s format, I’ll try to identify each section which includes a summary of K’s issues, my response, and an appropriate reference. If you decide to comment, please keep it civil.)
