Trump voters stay loyal because they feel disrespected
The Daily 202: Trump voters stay loyal because they feel disrespected
THE BIG IDEA: Three new deep dives into Donald Trump’s strength in Midwestern counties that were previously Democratic strongholds — written by conservatives, liberals and a nonpartisan journalist — each highlight a deep craving for respect among supporters of the president and an enduring resentment toward coastal elites that buoys his popularity.
Republicans and Democrats who have traveled to Macomb County in the Detroit suburbs, which Trump won by 12 points after Barack Obama carried it twice, including by 16 points in 2008, came away struck by these dynamics.
-- Democratic pollster Stan Greenberg, who helped orchestrate Bill Clinton’s 1992 victory, has obsessively studied the “Reagan Democrats” in Macomb for more than three decades. He went back after the 2016 election to understand how Trump won Michigan and recently returned to conduct another round of focus groups.
“Trump voters complain that there is no respect for President Trump or for people like them who voted for him,”

We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

Re: Trump voters stay loyal because they feel disrespected
It's always difficult to realize and then admit you've been conned. That's what's going on here. This guy and his partner fall into that classification. They are more than happy and proud to help the Trump family become one of the wealthiest groups of people in the world as they throw all their support and stand behind authoritarian leadership.
