So, what is interesting to me is, rather than clamoring for better unions, better healthcare, protection from evictions, a bigger share of the pie - they let Trump, a New York con man fuel their discontent into anger. They want to burn the house down —but for whom? Not themselves, for Trump, who has become their aggrieved Messiah. I remember hearing once, “Trump is a poor man’s idea of a rich man, a weak man’s idea of a strong man, and a foolish man’s idea of a smart man. Harsh, but I suspect true. But more, from what you say, they don’t care who he is. They want him to burn the house down, for them.
