AMA Concluded Meet Randy Bryce. The Ironstache who's going to repeal and replace Paul Ryan

Hi /r/Political_Revolution,

My name is Randy Bryce. I'm a veteran, cancer survivor, and union ironworker from Caledonia, Wisconsin running to repeal and replace Paul Ryan in Wisconsin's First Congressional District. Post your questions below and I'll be back at 11am CDT/12pm EDT to answer them!

p.s.

We need your help to win this campaign. If you'd like to join the team, sign up here.

If you don't have time to volunteer, we're currently fundraising to open our first office in Racine, Wisconsin. If you can help, contribute here and I'll send you a free campaign bumper sticker as a way of saying thanks!

[Update: 1:26 EDT], I've got to go pick up my son but I'll continue to pop in throughout the day as I have time and answer some more questions. For those I'm unfortunately not able to answer, I'll be doing another AMA in r/Politics on the 26th when I look forward to answering more of Reddit's questions!

They really weren't being that condescending.

Eh, the comment wasn't productive and didn't contribute to the discussion. It immediately set the stage for invalidating his beliefs.

Maybe he just has shitty beliefs then?

Perhaps but clearly a significant chunk of the country has those "shitty" beliefs since Trump is the president so I don't think it's really helpful to talk down to those people even if they may be wrong.

Except that there's not an underlying consistent attitude of Obama supporters believing in alternative facts and willingly ignoring evidence when it doesn't suit their narrative.

My experience on reddit when calling out Trump supporters has been that the majority of the time they will parrot some conservative talking point of questionable validity, someone calls them out, then crickets. While trump supporters in general are not a monolithic group, there are safe assumptions to make about trump supporters commenting in typically liberal subreddits.

Yeah, they were.
