I just don’t understand how Trump convinced the working class that he’s the man that represents them. I get that’s *generally* the reputation of republicans, but he’s a billionaire. One of the last things I’d think of when I hear “working class man” 😭Republicans forgot his “small loan of a million dollars” shit from the first time he was running for office. Everyone thinks he talks and acts like a normal person because they only see his campaign speeches, if you actually listened to him pre-politics you’d realize extremely quick how out of touch he is with damn near everyone else in the country. The guy has spent his ENTIRE life with a silver spoon in his mouth
I think Trump represents so much of the things the right (in a majority) wants. A return to a world they understand and feels like it centers them. Lowering government spending. Supporting American Capitalism. Going back to a homogeneous time. I think Trump has done a good job of manifesting all these personalities together even if he fails at multiple of these standards. At this point I think calling it a cult of cults makes sense to me
A million dollars isn’t a lot of money anymore. Most of us will get that or something close from inheritance or life insurance. And going from $1m to a billionaire and 2x president is no easy feat. I know a lot of wealthy people and one have accomplished anything near what Trump has. You can hate the guy all day long, but you gotta admit his resume is pretty impressive
no they don’t. you’re incredibly detached, you remind me of people i used to knows. the average american is living pay check to pay check, a lot are incurring more debt each month just to keep things the same. having a $100k in the bank account would be a pipe dream for most, let alone a mill lol
