In reply to the discussion: The "Left Behind" Trump voter has nothing left to tell us. [View all]bucolic_frolic
(44,191 posts)28. 1920s
Klan support was outside big cities, in small town America. Deep burbs of big cities. Trump harkens back to that time period, the time period of his father. We've read about Fred. What was going on? Prohibition. There sure was bootlegging going on in NYC in the 1920s, some domestic, some from Canada. This was the time Seagrams and the Bronfmans got their start, a history that's been buried for almost 100 years. http://www.lonepinepublishing.com/cat/9781894864114/gallery/excerpt I have found no tangible connection, though the facts might be explored by some. It just seems curious when I consider: What is Trump's current obsession with Canada? All he wants to do is cripple Canada and its economy. Strange, strange indeed.

yw. It's a good piece, hopefully it signals a departure from all the hyper focus on that demographic
