What's Behind Donald Trump's Support?

Post by pErvinalia » Wed Mar 09, 2016 2:48 am

"There is another way to interpret the Donald J. Trump phenomenon. A map of his support may coordinate with racist Google searches, but it coordinates even better with deindustrialisation and despair, with the zones of economic misery that 30 years of Washington’s free-market consensus have brought the rest of America."

They're mad as hell, and they're not going going to take it anymore...

Sorry for the Godwin, but there could be parallels with Germany in the 30s, in terms of people in economic strife looking for the strong man with answers...

(muslims and mexicans may have replaced Jews)

The real question is: Is Trump really a fascist, or just playing at one? I strongly suspect the latter.

The "revelation" that Trump supporters are united by their resolute opposition to freedom is not one that I find remotely surprising.
100% verifiable facts or your money back. Anti-fascist. Enemy of woo - theistic or otherwise. Cloth is not an antiviral. Imagination and fantasy is no substitute for tangible reality. Wishing doesn't make it real.

"freedom".

Neoliberalism isn't freedom. It's only freedom to a select class.

a guy ready to play the games trump is playing for power is dangerous, no matter whether he's a genuine fascist or not.

Yeah, fair point. But I don't think he's the next Mussolini or Hitler.

I think it's a combination of ignorance and stupidity.
People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.

But those letters are not silent.

They're just waiting their turn.
