16. "i find it hard to believe people can actually see him as president" In response to Reply # 7
even conservatives. like, if they're actually envisioning him in the oval office, presidenting and shit. Trump supporters can picture it for sure. With Carson people, i think more likely they know he wont be the nominee but want to show how hard they're riding for their black friend.
Or maybe they can really see it. I dunno, it's weird to me.

and a few Hilary, and plenty of leftover Obama joints
As far as conservative stickers, I mostly see anti-obama stickers or ones about how you can't be a real catholic if you support abortion or "I want my country back" which i guess would also fall in the anti-obama category
I still see leftover Mitt stickers, and Ron Paul, but I can't recall seeing anything for current GOP candidates
13. "i got an older lady in my family who's stumped for him from day one" In response to Reply # 0
i guess she is like my second cousin by marriage or something, she married my dad's cousin when they were both pretty old. any which way, she has been sending out all sorts of pro-carson shit since before the primaries even started and she won't back off it. things that endorse him and also announcements of events involving him are mostly what they are. i just smile, she is a sweet old lady and WTF do i wanna get in an argument with her for?
they are kind of mid-atlantic people (grew up near annapolis, live in central PA now) and she is a fundamentalist christian so i guess they have those connections. she seems unfazed by his being a total sociopath, in fact it was probably part of his appeal to her. you look at the polls and shit, somebody somewhere must support him.
And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.
14. "his story fits into a few narratives that conservatives really love" In response to Reply # 13
especially evangelicals/born-again types. they eat that redemption shit up
his upbringing already fits their stereotype of black youth. a kid who grew up hard with violent tendencies, but saw the light, and pulled himself up. Not by crying racism, or social programs, or government handouts. he did it because, God, and being american.
then there's the outsider shit. the fact that he seems to know next to nothing about the job he's applying for as most powerful man on the planet is a strength. because the man is a brain surgeon, plus god, and american
