(111,259 posts)Disenfranchised people, miners among them, voted for Trump because he's a human Molotov cocktail thrown at the completely rotten edifice erected by establishment types who have been selling us out for decades in the name of keeping the peace, keeping order, keeping the economy that benefits so few of us "strong," and basically standing up for no one who works for a living.
What they don't realize about Trump is that he's part of their problem and can't be any sort of solution as he, too, has a vested interest in keeping things as they are. After all, one of his first appointments was to have Goldman Sachs continue running the economy.
To their credit, they are slowly starting to figure out they were duped. They still haven't realized how completely off the rails he is.
