In a lot of these threads people keep saying Trump lost because of his personality, his attitude, etc....What the hell makes him so unlikeable vs Biden? What has he said, or done that made him impossible to vote for? I honestly don't get it.
Don't fall for that narrative. They don't like him because he's a threat to them. That's why we voted for him.AustinCountyAg said:

He lost Arizona because he called their decade long Republican senator a loser who got captured in war. It doesn't matter if you argue McCain started it.
If Trump could have been the bigger man and not short himself in the face he wins AZ.

I voted for him, but if you seriously can't see why he is unlikeable I'm not sure this thread is going to help you. He's a complete ass.
His base is uneducated white males. He has an inverse relationship with education. Agree with your other points.javajaws said:
Look, I voted for Trump both in 2020 and 2016. But let's be honest, he's a bit of an ass and an egomaniac (not unlike Obama). I love most of his policies...but a lot of time when he speaks I just have to tune him out. I can easily see how less educated voters who vote more on feelz would not vote for him. It's not rocket science.

The part about lies - every single politician lies like crazy. It drives me mad when people using someone's lying as an excuse not to vote for someone when the person they voted for lies just as much.Orlando Ayala Cant Read said:BoerneAg11 said:

Trump wins in a landslide even w covid, if he lied just a little less, didn't make outrageous claims, acted a bit more rationally in that first debate, tweeted less, and didn't pick fights unnecessarily w people like McCain. He torpedoed himself. Nobody to blame but himself.

I'm talking about education on political policies and how our government is supposed to work. Not grade school knowledge.pollo hermanos said:His base is uneducated white males. He has an inverse relationship with education. Agree with your other points.javajaws said:

Likable people usually aren't the people you see at the heads of companies or in powerful positions. If a likable person does end up being in a high up position they usually end up being ineffective because they want to please everyone.
When you are successful it means you get things done. To get things done you sometimes have to be rude, abrasive, unapologetic, stubborn, argumentative, etc. Having these qualities will get a lot of things done and to go your way, but in the process not everyone is going to like you.
Take a look at those who you know who have been your bosses. I know most of mine that I've had that were super successful were actually kind of pretty big jerks. As a "nice guy" in the real world I know my ceiling is only so high, unless I get some breaks, because I want people to like me. It's a trade-off.

You really think the masses of poor uneducated whites are better educated on government than the highly educated? Maybe so - i wouldnt think that is the case.javajaws said:I'm talking about education on political policies and how our government is supposed to work.
