Trump supporters are the remnants of the Old White Mafia, which believed that it had a (white male) god given right to steal the labor of anyone not a member of their WASP club. Basically, Trump supporters think that the only good ethnic minority is one who willingly gives up most of his paycheck to a white in exchange for the promise that said white will not tie him to a tree and burn him. The same way that organized crime families offer "protection"--from their own violence--in exchange for a price. That makes every Trump supporter a would be Mafia knee-breaker which is why they rally every time he tells them to break the law. Because they are criminals with no respect for others or for the law that exists to keep us (mostly) civilized. To a Trump supporter, civil rights laws are like a policeman who refuses to accept a mob bribe. The policeman is following the law---which means he must be snuffed out. Health care for all means health care for a member of an ethnic minority--and how can you force a member of an ethnic minority to give you his paycheck if you don't keep him good and scared?
Trump supporters grew up hearing about the days when you could hire a Black woman for peanuts to clean your house, cook your meals and take care of your kids--turning every white woman into a woman of leisure or a "lady" and they think "Why do I have to do my own laundry? Why do I have to cook my own food?" Trump supporters grew up hearing about the days when a white man could get a job "supervising" a bunch of members of an ethnic minority while they did all the work---while bringing home a hefty paycheck and they think "Why do I have to do real work on my job?"

gov't regulation, civil rights laws are bad because it comes between them and exploitation.
Unions come between them and leverage.
anti discrimination laws deprive them of the advantage they are entitled to.
higher education is bad because it allows people an opportunity to be independent, critical thinkers, and learn the true worth of the labor.
conservatism is the ideology of the king, the oppressor, the grifter and the pimp.
