How to Treat Trump Supporters- Please READ!

There seems to be a lot of confusion on how to not hurt Trump supporters feelings. Here are some basic guidelines I found on the web.

Basic Etiquette: Trump Supporters

1. Trump supporters are not "eternal mentally challenged children." Trump supporters should be treated and spoken to in the same fashion as other adults. Do not "talk down" to Trump supporters. Assume that a Trump supporter has had the same experiences as any other adult.

2. Like everyone else, Trump supporters are extremely diverse in their capabilities and interests. Avoid stereotypes, such as the assumption that all Trump supporters enjoy doing jobs that are repetitive, or want to work in fast food restaurants or supermarkets.

3. Many Trump supporters can read and write. Don't assume that Trump supporters lack academic skills, such as reading, writing, and the ability to do mathematics. While an individual's disability may significantly impact these areas, many Trump supporters have at least some level of these academic skills.

4. Even if people's academic skills are limited, they still have much to share and contribute. A low level of academic skills does not mean that people don't have valuable ideas and thoughts. Provide opportunities for people with limited academic skills to contribute verbally, and take what they have to say seriously. Ensure that people who have difficulties reading or writing have equal access to written materials (for example, by taping them or having someone review the materials with them orally). Use pictures or simple photographs to identify rooms, tasks, or directions.

5. Treat the individual as you would anyone else. If engaging in a conversation with someone who supports Trump, bring up the same topics of conversation as you would with anyone else such as weekend activities, vacation plans, the weather, or recent events.

6. Giving instructions. Trump supporters can understand directions if you take your time and are patient. Use clear language that is concise and to the point. When giving instructions, proceed slowly, and ask the person to summarize the information, to ensure that it has been understood. You may have to repeat yourself several times in order for the individual to take in all the information. "Walk through" the steps of a task or project. Let an individual perform each part of the task after you explain it.

7. Don't defer to a staff person or caregiver. When Trump supporters are accompanied by another person such as a staff person, caregiver, or family member, don't direct questions and comments to them. Speak directly to a Trump supporter. Also, don't allow someone else to speak for the person with a disability.

8. Avoid the term "Trump supporter." If you need to speak about a person's disability, Trump supporters prefer the term "developmental politically challanged" rather than "Trump supporter." (Trump support is one type of developmental disability.)
