[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Based on the interactions on the thread the following can be deduced:
There are five types of Republican Trump lovers: 
1) The tax cut cons -  they are busy, wealthy, upper middle income people. Some of them maybe on DCUM but they are a small number. They are not as interested in religious or cultural aspects, thought there are overlapping interests. They are against universal healthcare, free college education or welfare. These are the [b]pseudo free market people[/b], THEY WANT FREE MARKET but want the government to save them from their greed, as happened in 2008.

2) Libertarian Cons - They want zero involvement of state except when it comes to SS, medicare and any other benefits they accrue. They are hypocrites who want to cut "other people's" benefits but not theirs, even if it is government funded. They also want a non-intrusive foreign policy and want to cut defense budget.

3)Neo cons- these are a tiny number, more in foreign policy circles than real people.

4) The religious cons(rel cons) - They care primarily about abortion and christian issues. They could also be motivated by cultural aspects, especially non-christian immigration. Some of them are very anti-muslim and anti-jewish as well. They are happy with the supreme justices and thats all that matters to them. But in the long run they are frustrated that they are impotent in stopping gay marriage or the perennial wins of progressives. They are against science, so they are gonna end up on the wrong side of history all the time.

5) The cultural cons(cult cons) - These are the Immigration as primary issue trumpsters. They may not be directly affected by immigration(they claim they oppose only illegal but for many of them want a blanket cut in non-white immigration) but fear the rising non-white population and feel white, protestant(not as important anymore) Anglo-saxon culture is under attack. They grudgingly accept the domination of Asians in engineering, professional, business management and research. So they use this as a facade to say they aren't threatened by LEGAL immigration or Indian Americans winning spelling or becoming CEOs or becoming startup founders. They would love all of that success to be coming from whites, but if not, Asians are OK. These people are the back bone of Trumpism. They feel liberated from quiet dog whistles and are enabled by Trump and his more direct racism.

The problem for them is with a declining population Europe doesn't provide white immigrants anymore. So they grudgingly accept Asians but want to stop Hispanics and blacks. They don't get that America is a majority minority country already if they count only the less than 40 population. Sooner rather later they will be phasing themselves out and thats when A New America is gonna be born, with fewer cult cons, rel cons and tax cut cons without power. I feel 2020 is gonna herald the new era. Trump was just the dead cat bounce.
