[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This weekend I read an article in the Economist that condescendingly referred to Trump's supporters as "wrinklies."  This made me, a 30-something liberal female attorney, so mad!  How dare the writers of the Economist disrespect the american voter!  In a democracy, the government listens to the people and not the other way around. The liberal elite should not be allowed to impose their own version of the rule of law on America. Over the last twenty years the First Amendment has been almost completely obliterated by the idea of political correctness.  People are afraid to say even the simplest things for fear of being misunderstood.  Hell, saying "Merry Christmas" is no longer socially acceptable.  Laws are enforced at will, or not at all, and the  liberal elite feels entitled to disrespect the average Americans, off whose backs they make their living. [b]And this is precisely why people support Trump - because he does not seek to "improve" or "educate" an average voter, but instead shows him respect and actually listens to their opinions - something that, you know, in a democracy, an elected representative is supposed to do.

This is OP, and I can see this point as the most logical explanation. And I am also sick and tired of everyone trying to make everything support their idea of PC. [/quote]

I working a large law firm. A lot of lawyers who I know support Trump, even those who voted for democrats for years.[/quote]  This is happening across demographics.  The first person I heard openly speak in  favor of Trump was a female Latina immigrant.  The second was a long-time democrat.  Many people across socio-economic, political, racial and cultural lines are fed up with the paternalistic nature of our elected officials and the quasi anti-American rhetoric we have been force fed for too long.  The fact that someone as divisive as Trump can get this far with such a wide variety of supporters needs to be a wake-up call to both parties. [/quote]

Where are these people? I have literally never come across them. In real life or on the internet. These are anecdotes, PP, and whether true or not, they do not translate into an election win. [/quote]
