they also have different disdain than democrats, they hate them because they arnt as richa s they are, and would love to be someday. they see it that way.
If this were 2016 I might agree with you. But the reality we have needed to accept for a while is that most Trumpers are also on hard times. They're just new to the relegated-class party as the middle class disappears, and they backed the wrong horse to solve the problem. Yeah there is a vocal minority of extremists in their mix too, but the vast majority of Trump supporters are just rural simpletons who saw their manufacturing jobs leave, see their tax dollars disappear, and are too busy working to keep food on the table to have any time to learn about the lies they've been fed about socialism and trickle down economics.
They saw a populist dark horse candidate say all the things they were feeling, and voted for him in 2016. And then in 2024 when inflation hit a bunch of millennials and zoomers, they did the exact same thing.
Until a critical mass figures out we're all complaining about the same root causes, we're going to keep getting a demagogue elected.
