This article gives an interesting take on why Trump got elected and continues to have some popular support: here is a link to the article : https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/10/171023131949.htm To summarize people who think they are disadvantaged are more likely to support populist ideologies and ideologues and an unrealistic view of the greatness of their nation.
Makes sense given the unbelievable amount of discrimination and oppression that white christians in america experience. What was that about half baked nationalism?
One reason why people support Trump is that Liberals who oppose Free Speech are less Liberal then Conservatives.
So you are claiming that blacks and Latinos are nationalists for which President Trump has their support? Or is this just another thing that white people are racists and none of the principle applies to anyone else?
I think it is simpler than that. donald appealed to baser instincts by offering the sheeple a simplistic scapegoat (Mexicans, Chinese, etc.) for their situation. People who are frustrated and stupid are often more than willing to take the cue of that nationalist leader to scapegoat other groups. How many times have we seen that card played in history? The Dems were not effective in demonstrating that it has been Republican "trickle down" and "business can regulate itself" policies -- the same ones donald proposes -- that have resulted in middle class stagnation. An astonishingly high number of middle class workers believed that Democrats have done nothing more for them than Republicans, despite the massive record to the contrary. Also, the Republicans were effective in sabotaging the economy and blaming Obama for it.
Within the first 30 seconds, Trump - rightly - explains how both the equity markets and the unemployment rate are jokes. https://www.cnbc.com/2016/02/08/trump-markets-in-a-big-fat-juicy-bubble.html'
I kind of agree although the Trump strategy of scapegoating others ( immigrants, blacks, mexicans, etc) was a significant part of Trump's plan to convince white People that they were somehow disadvantaged and thus happened what the article suggests.
It's obvious his appeal is to dissembled, middle aged white males whose sexuality is defined by licking liberals faces for traces of tears.
That is exactly the logic, that people who feel "disadvantages" will be white nationalists who support Trump.
It's been repeated ad nauseum. It's easy to google. Where the economy was in 08 vs 16. Job growth, unemployment. I have a feeling you don't care. It wasn't a repub.
This is hilarious! We're almost a year after the election and the left still hasn't figured out what happened! They keep trying to come up with little theories and conspiracies to explain why their worldview fell apart. Well keep at it guys, it will be an amusing 3 plus years.
Thats convienent This is just what the rabid anti trumpsters suspected And now its been confirmed by a real scientist Like far out, man
The prissy boys are mystified as to why the overwhelming majority of Americans, in poll after poll after poll, acknowledge that their messiah stinks. https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/president_trump_job_approval-6179.html If they haven't gotten it by now, I doubt if they ever will.
Did you read that article lil Mike's? What the heck, America is the greatest country on earth ..so I don't get what how can you do a study..compare it to what?
Like historical democrat voters the party has abandoned, the working class now labeled as white supremacists and deplorables by the party that used to represent them.
