Can one still be a good person if that person supports Trump?

Same question could be applied to any US president/administration. And in all cases, I think the answer is the same: no.

There are those who are just broken but I think, in general, almost everyone has some good qualities.

Maybe I am just a dreamer.

I know many Trump supporters who are wonderful people as I knew many Obama supporters who were also wonderful. Same goes for Bush or even Hillary. Ridiculous question.

^^ Ridiculous answer.

Can one still be a good person if that person supports Hitler?
The answer depends on at what point in time this person stops supporting him.

How many children/civilians did Obama kill in drone strikes??
Does that make his supporters a bad person?

Yes, I would say so, but I would always be candid and verbalize why you support the President or it will, affect how others see you and possibly in a negative light.

If you proudly say you support the President do you want people to reason that you may also lie or you do not think there is anything wrong with having extramarital affairs when you are married? People may not trust you knowing that you support the President 100%. None of us agree 100% with another person, but in this political climate it is important to acknowledge why.

I think if you are being honest, you will understand it is because of one or maybe two decisions or issues that you agree with the President on. In this way you are stating I do not agree or support him 100%. You understand that some of what he advocates is wrong..

We may be in a time when a few issues are driving the electorate.

I don’t think Trump is a good person and I don’t understand how good people can support him. I didn’t agree with everything Obama did and I didn’t disagree with everything Bush did but Trump should have stuck with bankrupting casinos and speculating in property.

What a doofus!

How boring it would be to be considered a “good person” nah screw that into a cocked hat with bells on. Happy to be someone who has qualities regarded as good but jeezus, stick ya white hat up ya arse & give me a black one cowboy!

This question is straight trolling.

Certainly! There are lots of good, naïve people!

Of course you can! I’m in a red state and hear it all the time, compliments to Trump and what he’s done thus far. Everything else they blame on the left, the media and straight out lies…lol

I think that most people who thought they were for Trump, no longer are. I think all he has left are billionaires and corporation..but they are powerful.

False alternative
Common Fluther fallacy

Sure it’s possible. There are plenty of dumb people who have good hearts.

Being a smart person and support Trump? That would only happen if you were getting enough in tax breaks to ignore his incompetence.

That’s a very good point, too @gorillapaws. If you had so much money nothing else really mattered.

Excuse me but I am a VERY good person and Trump is my MAN.
Put that in your pipe and smoke it as I know some do!

Wow. Serously?

Is it possible to be a good person and ask trolling questions on anonymous Q&A websites?

^ yes

^In that case the answer to the OP is also yes

@mazingerz88 Has been here for years. He has over 19,000 points. You don’t get that by trolling. He is not a troll @Caravanfan. Most of us have been here for years. You are brand new with only 229 points. You might want take that into consideration before you start insulting people.

@Dutchess_III It was @ARE_you_kidding_me who said it was straight trolling. I was reflecting what he said. And I’ve been here as long as you have; I’m just on another username.

I was responding to your comment, “Is it possible to be a good person and ask trolling questions on anonymous Q&A websites?” @Caravanfan. By “reflecting” what other people say you thereby own it, and any consequences that comes from it.

@Dutchess_III Fair enough. I still think the answer to the OP is “yes”.

I don’t know. I am really torn. How could anyone overlook every thing he’s done, make excuses for him, and still consider themselves a good person? The fact that he is so damn dumb blows me away too.

@Dutchess_III A close friend and bandmate of mine I have known for 20 years is a Trump supporter and I would trust him with my life. His vote has absolutely nothing to do with it.

I am still torn @Caravanfan, and not sure what to do with you.

@dutchess Surprise Surprise

Good or bad is subjective. Different people look at the matter from different angle. So yes, you can still be a good person in the way you conduct your life and your political belief simply stay in the bedroom and won’t affect that.

Someone who has been here a long time should know exactly the response such a question would elicit. So yes even if a fluther elder has had positive contributions over the years they can still post trolling questions. I’m not completely against it either as long as the intent of the outcome is a positive one.
@Dutchess I’m pretty sure you’re speaking with @Rarebear who I’m glad to see back.

I guess I’d put it this way: If that person is still supporting Trump, then we probably have some seriously different ideas of what being a good person means.

I think it would be more productive to generalize this question.

What does it mean to be a good person?
– What you think?
– What your intentions are?
– What you say?
– What you do?

Can you compartmentalize what it means to be a good person?

@Soubresaut Yes, like abortion, immigration, etc… ....there’s pretty major differences in opinion but each side thinks the other is wrong. If it wasn’t about serious issues and helping destroy our country, it would be rather amusing.
