Also, many of those people who are sorry they voted for him can’t admit, even to themselves, all the huge mistakes he is making. There is an area in the panhandle of Florida called the “Redneck Riviera.” Trump voters have turned our White House and our federal government into just that—Redneck heaven.

Trump’s supporters think he is “one of them.” He’s not. Granted, he is trashy as can be, but he was born to rich parents. The really sad part of it is Trump is playing them for fools, to the detriment of all of us.
It's the sad truth , all about winning .
Most of them think they are at a wrestling match.

Whether we are educated, red neck (your slur) or standing the line as a soldier it does not matter. We are citizens and we like our wine room temp and our beer ice cold. 2020 is going to be epic.
Lordy , lordy , what is there to say to this?

Since that is how you feel, I want you to think about this. It confirms what I've suspected all along. And I'm specifically talking about the ZEALOTS among those who voted for Trump, not every person who voted for Trump.

Europeans from Europe can come here if they want to. Refugees from Europe can come here if they so please. St. Louis metro area has the largest Bosnian population outside of the homeland. The reason not many Germans, Swedes, and English are coming here is because many don't feel the need to come. In fact,with the EU in existence, many Europeans just go to other European countries. With the British Commonwealth in existence, some English people just go to New Zealand or Canada.

There is no concerted effort to replace White people. Nothing is stopping Europeans from coming here. Nothing is stopping White people from having more kids. The difference is more non-White groups are allowed to come here. If that bothers you, then perhaps it confirms what I said about the zealot types.

Now, what is bothersome is the relative lack of enforcement in terms of illegals coming here. That is an issue, and it's something all Americans can get behind.

You won because enough democrats didn't like Hillary Clinton and stayed home.

You will lose because you have mistaken a map for a mandate.

Voting for Trump due to being called a deplorable is weak sauce man, weak ,but America
does have a huge class of poorly educated people so I guess it is possible.

Is it then Trump's nasty name calling of his opponents that made Trump win? if
one uses same logic it must be and then what does that say about Americans? hmm.

research the 1965 Immigration Act. Also, research available census figures. Then you will get the picture.

I can't post a full reply because big brother will just delete any facts or statistics I post that don't align with their pro-left narrative.

I think this is an over-simplification of the issue. I don't know if there is some vast conspiracy to replace or get rid of white people per se. I will say that if we're being objective here is that the Dems have a long term game plan. They have lost the middle class white male voter, for the most part. The are acting in a sycophant matter and bending over backwards pandering for the Latino vote. They see them as a huge potential voting block, it's about the only thing that really explains the blatant pandering, I've sat on it for a while and thought of it from every angle. It's about the only thing that makes any real sense. That and cheap labor, which is why both parties haven't done squat about border enforcement, they want cheap labor and for the dems they think it will also parlay into votes.

We have differing world views. I've always been respected as an American and now more so. The only place that is not true is anywhere near Los Angeles.

I agree that Black Americans are doing better than they were many years ago (and by that, I mean back in the 60s). Things have gotten better, but there is still a ways to go. There are many people who aren't prejudice. At the same time, there are still many who hold bigoted views. And the way things are today, it isn't as up front and "in your face" as it was back in the 60s. This aren't at the level they used to be, but there are still some people who pine for the 50s.

There are individuals who do harbor some anger and resentment, and see Trump as the person voicing it. I don't watch the news much if I can help it. I barely watch TV anymore. I do many things outside of CD. I see life like this. While there are many good people out there, some people save their vitriol for the internet. I think about the persons who have posted on facebook some of their own anger and vitriol.

My point is this. Among the most loyal of Trump supporters, Trump resonates well among those who harbor reserves of resentment and anger. The question is WHY. I say that it's about the way Trump is.

Good points about the anger and resentment harbored by Trump supporters. I personally believe that their resentment is fueled by their inferiority complexes. For some reason, they feel less than people they consider “the elites.”
