re: #214 MsJ

I don’t know if I agree.

I think people who went for trump were, in many cases, desperate for…

“The best healthcare you will ever get! Believe me!” and heard he would improve on the hated (due to ratfucking) Obamacare.

“Zillions of jobs!” and they need a job.

Everything trump said was so generic, people heard what they wanted to hear, what they were desperate to hear.

Austerity in the UK created Brexit.

Republicanism in the US created trump.

I don’t know. It just seems to me that Trump definitely touched on resentment of immigrants. Republican base voters aren’t the only ones who can fall victim to xenophobia. I think you’re right about a lot of this though. Trump gave them easy answers rather than the complex ones HRC was offering and that’s probably why you ese some overlap with Bernie and Trump even though their economics are different.
