And this one. The headline really says it all:

How Donald Trump is breathing life into America's dying white supremacist movement

He is just parroting your fears and prejudices to get an emotional reaction, but there is nothing behind the statements. Here are the first three "proposals" from a Trump speech in Iowa this week:

"We are going to build a wall. Mexico is going to pay for the wall. We will have security and all the drugs will stop and the only people coming into the country will be legal."

"We are going to repeal Obamacare. Boom. It's going to be repealed and it will be replaced with something that will be so good, so much better."

"Believe me, I can take care of China in my back pocket. That's easy for me. That's what I do."

I agree that trump doesn't really care about the average joe, but LOL if you think any politician does. Do you think HRC gives a fuck about the average joe? All politicians are self-aggrandizing liars. We all know that. But trump would be a much more effective leader than the alternatives.

Being jealous of others' success is not attractive.

Oh, great, the same argument from the Real Estate forum when people say they don't like McMansions. We can hate things that are big and loud and trashy without secretly wanting them.

Being an overblown, narcisssistic, bigoted, loudmouthed asshole braggart is not a "success" to celebrate.

I have zero jealousy of Trump. Trump has gone bankrupt multiple times and basically his only business at this point is being a cartoon character on reality TV and whoring his name out for developers. He doesn't develop or own "Trump" hotels and establishments, he only gets a small cut. He isn't a self-made man, he inherited his wealth from his father, and in fact, had he just put his inheritance in an index fund he would be as rich or richer today than he has ever gotten himself through his so-called "business acumen."

There are plenty of true business leaders and visionaries for me to look up to, like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Larry Page / Sergey Brin. I don't need Trump.

My husband likes Trump. At first he said he found Trump "amusing." But now he's out of the closet -- full Trump supporter. He says it's time to take back America. I won't let him get a yard sign or bumper sticker.

A gay male friend of mine told me over dinner tonight that Trump is his candidate. Imagine that!

I have only seen one in real life so I don't know. But that he's at 39% helps to both explain and excuse my misanthropic tendencies.

I have a few pals who are doctors who hate Obamacare. They would never cry if it were repealed.

I'd love to see NCLB go - or its newer version, ESSA.

People are tired of seeing so much waste.

And they will vote based on the last nasty encounter they had that day. So expect people to hide behind the screen and hit the Trump button. They may not tell you, but they'll do it and then lie to your face about it.

And, yes, they know what you think of them. Your ignorant criticisms of their lives and choices only confirm their support of Trump.

thank fuck these are precisely the people who are losing life expectancy, as shown by the deaton paper.

NP here - I grew up in small town Pennsylvania and can confirm 100% that the support for Trump comes from small-mindedness, lack of vision, most people never went beyond high school and their interests are mainly just limited to sports and hunting, their world view mainly just comes from TV and movies.

If the people you're describing are hard-working, honest, and doing their best to take care of their families, your criticism of them reflects poorly on you, despite our "open-mindedness and vision."

Where it comes to choices of politicians and ideologies they certainly are NOT doing the best to take care of their families.

Typical libtard response. So you "KNOW" how to best take care of my family? You egotistical, elitist little shit...

Wipe the foam out of the corners of your mouth.

. Anyone who believes the bs of any politician of AMF persuasion is gullible. They are all, IMHO, whores who will say and due anything to get elected. Whether that offends people or not is the degree to which they agree with the message.
