Here's a link to an engrossing magazine-length article on the young people who are a key part of republican draft-dodger Comrade Casino's base of "support:"

Pepe symbolizes embracing your loserdom, owning it. ...It is a culture of hopelessness, of knowing “the system is rigged”. But instead of fight the response is flight, knowing you’re trapped in your circumstances is cause to celebrate. For these young men, voting Trump is not a solution, but a new spiteful prank...
"...Thus these Trump supporters hold a different sort of ideology, not one of “when will my horse come in”, but a trolling self-effacing, “I know my horse will never come in”. That is to say, younger Trump supporters know they are handing their money to someone who will never place their bets — only his own — because, after all, it’s plain as day there was never any other option.
"In this sense, Trump’s incompetent, variable, and ridiculous behavior is the central pillar upon which his younger support rests..."
"...It was almost as if all these disaffected young men were waiting for a figure to come along who, having achieved nothing in his life, pretended as though he had achieved everything, who by using the tools of fantasy, could transmute their loserdom (in 4chan parlance, their “fail”), into “win”.
