I hate Trump, but I get why a huge part of middle America loves him

We gotta face facts, though. Most of America is not like DC. It's hugely white, under-educated, under-employed people, who have been truly screwed over by progressive policies.

They have to compete with millions upon millions of lower cost illegal migrants flooding across the borders. They have been penalized by the color of their skin when applying to college and jobs. Suicide, depression, opioids, wars they have to fight and die in...it has gotten quite bad.

Once upon a time, democrats valued this massive part of America. Do they still? Can they?

This is a sad attempt at trolling. Are you also a LiFeLOnG DeMOcrAt?

Yeh, no. Not really. Trump tapped until people anger, it feels good to be allowed to be angry. What are they angry about? Mostly that the world has changed around them. It’s not hard to understand.

Yes with Trump world peace and low inflation

With libs there is change. World on fire and lower standard of living by inflation.

The drop in quality needs to change back.

There was "peace" because Trump was kowtowing to Russia and China. In the meantime, Trump pulled out of the TPP and turned a blind eye to russia taking Donbas.

The inflation was the same as under Obama and then deflated because of the crashed economy. Trump is one of two modern presidents to leave office with fewer jobs than when he entered. That is not a win or a strong economy.

Overall the quality is far higher now than during Trump. But you wouldn't know that based on the sources of information you consume.

lol. more delusion. no panic here. I am a white liberal with $412k household income; $1.6 million retirement account (with 11 more years left to retire); six figure savings and a vacation home in Central America; 31 months left on my mortgage. my life won't change. even if I lost my job. I could easily retire at my current age of 54 to my property in Central America and live a VERY LOVELY life.

Which colleges are predominantly "illegal" migrants? Even UT Austin is majority white.

That’s what you took from this comment? Myopic doesn’t even begin to describe it.

You can’t reason with people who are delusionally angry. Everyone has been interviewing Trump supporters for 8 years. They are paranoid and idiotic. Most of what they believe is not only false but contradicting other things they believe. We don’t need their votes. The Republicans are destroying their party pandering to delusional anger.

Okay dokey.

It’s true. The lunatics are not the majority and there is no comprising with them because they don’t act in good faith and they won’t honor a deal. Let the Republicans have the delusional idiots. Republicans spent the last 60 years making them that way.

and it would be so EASY for Democrats to win elections but instead of helping the deplorables Democrats focus on expanding immigration.

stupid

Bullshit. We subsidize the hell out of the deplorables. Most of them would not have all this free time and money to give to Trump without some kind of government assistance.

This is actually the problem. Middle America doesn't want welfare. They want to be able to work to support their families as previous generations did. Saying, "what's it to you, your SNAP check bounced or something?" demonstrates the enormous disconnect between elites and the working class.

It is what Trump is promising. See his "tweet" tonight against Haley donors, as an example.
