so I'll repost my reply.

9. What did anyone expect? After 40+ years of shipping good jobs away and starving people, by not raising the wages on the bad jobs they had to scramble for, people on the bottom have had enough. They're backing a guy they know will completely wreck the political establishment in Washington, or that's what they think. They don't think he gives a damn about them, nobody does and they're used to that.

They just want a rapid turnover in the thieves at the top. They will never vote for a Clinton. They will never vote for Ryan or any of the other establishment types. They're so angry they'd rather rip it all down and start over than deal with what they've got. Which is nothing.


Tea party types were the more educated, suburban white folks, but the anger was the same. Those white folks just didn't realize that Federal taxes were the least of their problem, that regressive taxes were what was killing them. People know they're getting screwed without getting kissed and anger is deepening and widening. Our plutocracy has no clue how dangerous this is.

(Thanks for reposting, BTW)
