To the earlier question of why people vote for Trump there are many varied reasons and you can't paint the Trump voter with broad brushes. Abortion, personal freedom, economy, shake up the political status quo, conservative values, reigning in government overreach, etc. etc. Trump serves a political/policy purpose for many who cannot stand his character. The evangelical/conservative component of his base are very much at odds with trumps character but voted not FOR Trump but THROUGH him FOR Gorsuch, Barrett, and the nearly 300 other judges he's put on the bench. Then there's the wackos who love him for his FU, burn it all down attitude and see that as validation for their own wacked out sh|t. Two very different kind of people. He's either a brilliant strategist in his quest for power or just dumb-lucked into enough disparate segments to put together enough of a "base" to win or be competitive for the presidency. Mis-labeling or trying to ascribe false motivations to Trump voters isn't a smart political move as Hillary found out with her basket of deplorables.
I vote "dumb-lucked" as I'm no genius, but I've flushed smarter than him.
Thank you for taking the time to lay that out, I suspect that I suspected all of that and even may have a bit of understanding for it..... I just don't see him as believing in any of that, I see him as a you can fool some of the people all of the time kind of guy, yet I still get stuck trying to figure out how anyone can't see it, or worse, would be that willing to cut off their own nose to spite their face...
Oh well, just a couple few more days somebody gets to drift fish a imperfect run on the river of tears.
I voted
