I'm indifferent, but at the very least Trump has the balls to stand up to those authoritarian asshats that seem to be everywhere. At least he didn't want to start a war with another world power right off the bat. I'm sick and tired of being labelled as hateful/evil before I even open my mouth, so I support changing that attitude. I'm a straight, White, cisgendered male. What does that tell you about what I'm told, hmm? I have had some pretty significant problems I'm not willing to disclose here. If I was as 'privileged' as I'm called, I would have been able to just walk away from those past problems without any incident. But that didn't happen. And don't you dare tell me my problems are "inconsequential by comparison." Get to know me better and you might just learn why I say this.

I always look at things from as much of an objective standpoint as I can. My feelings do not override my ability to think logically by any metric. That's why the news media pisses me off so much. As someone who likes to use subtle subversions and riddle-like jokes, I can see right through every attempt to pull wool over my eyes and try to abuse my selflessness. They are as bad as Trump says, but I held this opinion for far longer than he's been on the forefront.

A good example of why I don't necessarily support Trump is something he said in a recent comment, in which he asked about revoking media licenses simply for a report based on what seemed like evidence to a point. Not to say the media hasn't hounded him with ungodly accusations that are completely unfounded and tried to unseat him with a myriad of lies and personal attacks, but that temper tantrum behavior is kind of an issue. Unprofessionalism does sneak in every so often.

That said, his opposition seems to function entirely on unprofessionalism. Destroying people's personal property,  threatening police and sometimes even killing them, abusing and exploiting people for their race/sexuality/gender,  covering up/ apologizing for crimes that don't suit their narrative and just straight up attacking people over their opinions. That shit is absolutely evil. Might as well just be inverted Jim Crowe laws.

Also the EU is vile and I've known that for years. So good on Britain.

That's not how privilege works. Privilege is like getting a head start in a race. It doesn't guarantee you're going to win.

That kind of privilege doesn't exist. Period.

If it did, men, white people, straight people and cisgendered people would not constantly have mere accusations turned into convictions by lawmakers.

There's more Asian privilege than white privilege privilege there's more colored privilege than white privilege

Personally glad Trump got in. His winning, and the populace's/media's (over)reaction just go to show that democracy is working as it should. Plus I love the fact that him winning has shown those who pay attention how hypocritical the elite and the media are, and how panicked they are by the fact that the status quo is being threatened. Change isn't a bad thing, our society is always in a constant state of change, and more often than not, "bad" shit happening is what is needed to push us towards being better. I wish the best of luck to him during his Presidency.

Well I don't know about asian privilege, but the systemic disparity favoring whites over blacks is a quantifiable, measurable phenomenon. Same with straight cis people over LGBT people, and men over women, although the latter is more complex.

Alright, then let's see how favorably things rule for the next white guy they falsely label a NAZI and the next "marginalized" person who assaults a police officer/"privileged" person.

Privilege is a fallacy that assumes that all circumstances can be the same. Privilege is a fallacy that assumes that no other factors contribute to life's shortcomings. Privilege is a fallacy that presumes that everyone's just hateful and that's why there's a disparity.

Privilege doesn't assume any of those things. There are a lot of factors that go into determining the outcome of any situation. All the concept of privilege is is an acknowledgment that race (or gender, or sexual orientation) is one of those factors. And it is bared out by numerous studies and statistics.

I'm going to go on ahead and intervene with this before this carries on, but please do remain on-topic and civil about this type of debate. The original-poster asked who was "For Trump" specifically.
