re: #101 Barefoot Grin

Maybe, but he’s right that liberals* take for granted certain things that turn out to be not true. People want to work, to have a decent life, and Trump could at least offer that illusion. It’s counterintuitive, but I agree with him that numbers of minorities supporting Trump could even grow.

*ETA: or at least, I do.

Except I’m pretty sure that this part, quote:

You cannot win elections without giving working class voters reason to vote other than fear. Regardless of their race/gender

…is almost exactly what Trump did to win over the vaunted ‘White Working Class’ to the point we had hagiographies of this group the month after the election . He literally told them ‘EVERYTHING IS HELL AND ONLY I AM BRILLIANT ENOUGH TO FIX THIS, IN ALL MY GODHOOD’
