Jordan Klepper gets to know Trump supporters

I'm American and when I hear a Brit speak -- like Stephen Fry, ship! -- I wish just a little we lost the war.

I’m British and whenever I meet an American in person and they talk I fangirl a lil bit bc you only really hear their voices on the tv and idk it’s like woah, they’re real

The Ling Space interviews the McGill linguists who consulted for Arrival, Jessica Coon, Morgan Sonderegger, and Lisa Travis. (Minor spoilers for the movie.)

But, the same things were said in each of those past examples. And I'm sure you heard this already. So, help me understand why this is really truly the time to not vote one's beliefs? I'm also not saying it isn't true, but there never seems to be any recognition that this has been said everything since George II.

You know what, looking back on it, my friends and I survived the Bush Presidency

We would have survived a McCain Presidency

We would have survived a Romney Presidency

I honestly worry that there are some people who would not survive a Trump Presidency

I don’t care how much you love Gary Johnson, or Jill Stein. On November 8, 2016, one of two things will be true: either Hillary Clinton will be elected President, or Donald Trump will be elected President.

Which one, HONESTLY, would be worse?

This isn’t the year to “vote your conscience.”

There’s a fucking dangerous man one election away from being President.

This is the year to vote to survive.

Any other year, this would be an exaggeration. We survived Bush, we could have survived McCain or Romney. This year, Trump’s danger is no exaggeration.

Don’t vote your conscience, vote to survive.

My Coffee with a Trump Supporter

I finally found a Trump supporter – this morning when I went to buy coffee. (I noticed a Trump bumper sticker on his car.)

“Hi,” I said. “Noticed your Trump bumper sticker.”

“Yup,” he said, a bit defensively.

“I hope you don’t mind my asking, but I’m curious. Why are you supporting him?”

“I know he’s a little bit much,” said the Trump supporter. “But he’s a successful businessman. And we need a successful businessman as president.”

“How do you know he’s a successful businessman?” I asked.

“Because he’s made a fortune.”

“Has he really?” I asked.

“Of course. Forbes magazine says he’s worth four and a half billion.”

“That doesn’t mean he’s been a success,” I said.

“In my book it does,” said the Trump supporter.

“You know, in 1976, when Trump was just starting his career, he said he was worth about $200 million,” I said. “Most of that was from his father.”

“That just proves my point,” said the Trump supporter. “He turned that $200 million into four and a half billion. Brilliant man.“

“But if he had just put that $200 million into an index fund and reinvested the dividends, he’d be worth twelve billion today,” I said.

The Trump supporter went silent.

“And he got about $850 million in tax subsidies, just in New York alone,” I said.

More silence.

“He’s not a businessman,” I said. “He’s a con man. "Hope you enjoy your coffee.”

Awesome!

BUT GUYS HAVE YOU SEEN THIS
