Why do so many people think it's OK for Trump to behave like a low-class, ill-mannered boor?

120. 2 suspicions here:

1) Someone after the election (don’t remember if on the left or right) was talking about the concept of “what offends me v what affects me,” and that there are apparently a lot of voters who just don’t really care what comes out of someone’s mouth. They might even admit it’s offensive, but won’t change their vote if they don’t feel it actually AFFECTS them. This is true on both sides of the aisle, we just haven’t seen it from Democrats for a long time. Many were offended by Bill Clinton’s treatment of women, including his own wife, but weren’t going to change their vote because those actions in President Clinton’s personal life didn’t AFFECT them, and his actions as President (mostly good) actually DID affect them.

2) People are sick of the status quo, so any change (even empty promises of change), are enticing.
