The Deplorables Only Care About One Thing: Pissing Off Lib'ruls

They know trump is full of shit. They know they're losing their healthcare. They know the coal jobs aren't coming back. They know that their Medicare/caid and maybe even SS is going away.

They've known it all along. They don't care.

They will stick with tRump because he sticks it to liberalism at every turn. That's all they live for.

Why? Simple: these people have nothing but their fear, hatred and religion. Deep down they know they will never have much in the way of material goods or mobility in their lives. So the next best thing to their having the unachievable good life is to take it away from as many others as they can: liberals, minorities, women, non-Xians. Those groups losing equals the deplorables winning.

Simple.

antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigration sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."

Totally true.

Find everything they like and co-opt it.

Steal eveything they have so there is no longer a Conservative identity left.

Most do pretty good materially, so there must be something else they're after.

Though Religious opinions and guns is often related.

8. I don't think they know. Some were surprised that the AHA is the same as Obamacare.

I think there is a real disconnect with reality for these folks. There is no doubt they really HATE "liberals". I just don't think they know what that means outside of short faux news soundbytes.

It's kind of sad watching people cheer their own demise.

The pissed-off part comes in because it's not just their demise they are rooting for.

They're like murder-suicide family annihilators. They could just skip the homicide and go straight to the suicide. But they want to take everyone with them.
