Why Are People Still Supporting Trump?

I do not like Trump at all. I’m not a liberal There is something seriously wrong with society and the world in general. The elite and rich just sit there, accumulating more wealth while the rest of the people toil their lives away in a futile pursuit of financial stability. The system is rigged and 90+% of us will never break out of our current situation.

Most Trump supporters honestly believe he is their ticket out. Be that the result of idiocy or misguided faith, they think he’s the only politician who cares enough to fight for the little guy. Even though more often than not he refused to pay the little guy for contracted work completed on his properties. Many of them believe he’s a self-made millionaire who should be able to “fix the US Economy”. Blindly ignoring the fact his daddy gave him his fortune and he squandered most of it.

Trump says things to his followers that reassure them of his intent, while doing things that run contrary to those words. He does this with an air of plausible deniability, always scapegoating some perceived boogeyman as the cause of his failure. His followers are so disenfranchised by the system that they eat up every word.

Trump’s supporters are misguided. They keep hoping for their situation to improve, and every time he tells them Mexicans are causing their problems they latch on to that. They know something is causing their problems and they just can’t comprehend the bigger picture. They don’t know who to blame so they blame whomever their trusted leadership tells them to blame. All the while, ignoring the fact that their leaders are part of the problem.

Something needs to change. The last time humans saw wealth disparity like this we had a French Revolution and the Royals were slaughtered in the streets. The current system is unsustainable, kept functioning only by the complacency of most of its citizens. One day everyone will rise up and say “Enough”.

Trumps supporters mostly think that time is now and believe the Donald is their chance to “stick it to the man.”

  1. Damn bro, that’s quite the mess.

    I can understand people not liking Trump, but I can’t understand not liking him for mostly bullshit media-created narratives and misconceptions.

    These problems you speak of (aside from DT) are true and need long-overdue attention. But the way you’re thinking of Trump and his followers is wrong. He represents a beachhead against the very forces causing perpetual misery. The proof of that is revealed in how the empire has responded to him. It’s their sandbox, not his.

    Whether you’re a liberal or not doesn’t matter. I know many on the left who understand they’ve been led to believe a ton of bullshit about Trump. It is literally everywhere outside of leftist bubbles, of which there are many.
