Re: Ted Cruz: I’m not going to support Trump ‘like a servile puppy dog’ after he atta
I feel the same way. I respect many people who are Trump supporters (including my dad). I just don't know why they can't see what we're seeing in him. He's a total disaster.
You know. I cannot speak for them. But I am of the opinion that they DO know. I know that Trump supporters are easy targets and often the butt of a joke but they really aren't unusually stupid people. It might appear that way but they know what they are doing. They know. They just don't care. This is an "Old School" last stand rebellion. A big burning cross for all the disgruntled to gather around.
They aren't stupid. They know that DJT is full of ****. They know he is playing them like a fiddle and playing the part of the mouthpiece voicing what they want to hear. They know the whole foundation is built up on lies stacked up on top of other lies.
They know. But so what? They don't care. I mean, you got Hillary as the alternative. Her reputation for lying is wide spread. Right or wrong, the image is out there. So why can't their candidate of choice not be allowed to lie? One lie deserves another. Take THAT! I will see your fib and raise you a whopper!
People, especially white people, feel they (we) are at a fork in the road as to which direction the nation will be headed towards the future. They have the candidates and media pundits cramming down their throats the idea of how bad or nation has become and they are pissed at all the "other" people, groups and politicians that "got us here." :roll:
Sometimes, before you can rebuild, you have to do a complete demo. Sometimes you have to burn the overgrowth in a field before you can plant it. That is the mentality of your basic Trump supporter. They are angry. If their candidate fights dirty using mud, lies, and delusions of grandeur promising them everything their little heart desires, and do it quickly, why not? What do they have to lose given how ****ty a country the US has become?
This is what I see when I observe a Trump supporter. They are not stupid. They simply do not care if all the Queen's rules of acceptable battle is thrown out the window.
Then, there are others, who simply outnumber the Trump type people, who see the need for improvement but believe, overall, that the US is a GREAT place to be, (compared to any and all other, nations,) and that the big ship has finally turned around and is steaming, on course, and we do not feel the need to throw the baby out with the bath water. Those people see Trump using different spectacles. They see him as a snake-oil selling, liar, manipulator, cashing in on the disgruntled market, buffoon. And by extension, they often see the average Trump supporter in the same light.
Just my opinion based on my observations.
