A group of historians put out a manifesto about how bad Trump is and what a disaster he'd be for the country.
I could only laugh to think these guys believe they have any influence over the folks who Trump appeals to.
The folks know the elites, like university professors. They know how much these people hate and look down on them. They won't be listening to them, and if they do it will be only to dismiss them.
The folks learned something about political elites by watching the EPA. They watched as the EPA closed down industries and put people out of work without batting an eyelash, without doing anything for the displaced workers. That's what the elites think of ordinary folks, which is to say, nothing at all.
The culture the elites inhabit is like out of Sodom and Gomorrha to the ordinary folks. All this stuff about gay marriage, transsexual male rights to women's bathroom, etc. It all seems so completely degenerate and deviant. The elites of both parties inhabit this culture, which could be from some other planet. The folks worry about what this country is turning into.
And about the nation's security, what is there to say about a President who won't even name the enemy?
The folks are listening to Trump, and Trump and only Trump is saying the things they want to hear, about how Trump is going to bring back jobs, improve the economy, and make America strong and respected.
Most of these folks don't care if Trump is called racist, sexist, homophobic, etc. They know they'd be considered the same just for worrying about our culture, they know, in short, that these charges are not true because elites lie.
Most of these folks have been losing ground for the last 15 years. They saw the Tea Party emerge and then get ground into the cement by the attacks of elites, by the IRS and other government agencies. They learned it doesn't pay to be nice and polite.
Even if the Democrat suddenly saw the light and started talking about cracking down on illegal immigrants and bringing jobs back to this country the folks would ignore it. They know how the elites lie and betray anyone who believes in them. They know how the elites will say anything and do anything to get what they want. The folks have learned to ignore them. And Trump? Well, if you've ever seen one of his rallies you know that there's something he does that the media never reports, and Hillary and the Democrats never do themselves that I know of, which is to state how humbled he is and thankful to the people who turned out to see him, how much he loves them and is concerned for them and wants to help them. He comes across as a regular guy who wants to help, and he seems sincere about it. They eat that stuff up. Like I said, they are not getting it from anyone else.
