The craziest thing is that this fat New York billionaire has somehow convinced rural uneducated retards that he cares about them and to vote for him.
Thats the brilliance of it; he ran an inpopular platform intended to help the rich get richer and simultaneously fought a culture war that gained him the support of the massive, white, rural, uneducated class.
A side anecdote: I have an acquatance of a friend who is both Brown, and a Trump Supporter - I was baffled and couldn’t understand why they would support an openly racist candidate.
Well, turned out they were from a family of Old money out of Dubai and Trumps tax and business policies put in place GREATLY assisted their family real estate company. I think they tripled their revenue in 4 years, but i’m not entirely certain - I’ve just picked it up through context.
has somehow convinced rural uneducated retards
What a terrible way to refer to other people. I’m sure using language like this surely convinces them otherwise.
It is also much more complex than that. Some educated and otherwise intelligent people also voted for Trump.
Dumb people at least have an excuse.
The smart people who support Trump clearly know that he’s an evil and corrupt fascist moron bitchpig, and that makes them even worse.
Because he hates who they hate. Hate is a powerful motivator.
He claims to hate the same people they hate. He was a Democrat until he decided to run as a Republican.
“In many cases, I probably identify more as Democrat,” Trump told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer in a 2004 interview. “It just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats than the Republicans. Now, it shouldn’t be that way. But if you go back, I mean it just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats.” - Donald Trump
Whether or not he really hates them is anyone’s guess. Personally, I think that after his foray in birther-land, he realized that Republican voters would like it if he dropped the mask and let his racism shine through. Now he just spews hate at anyone right wing voters hate and they lap it up.
He claims to hate the same people they hate. He was a Democrat until he decided to run as a Republican.
I don’t doubt that his hate is genuine. He’s subject to the same brain rot as every other boomer who spends all day parked in front of Fox News.
Even if he gets arrested, the Supreme Court dictators will declare him innocent. America is fucked.
