On the flip side, I talked to a few trump supporters that claimed they voted for trump because jobs! Obama wrecked the economy! Because immigrants took all the jobs! Blah blah blah.
Well none of these people lost their jobs during the recession, none of them lost their home, shoot some of them have a government job and some are living comfortably with social security & a pension.
Now some folks I know went through financial disaster during the recession but they didn't vote for trump. Most folks I know treaded water & grateful Obama saved the country so they could get back to work, they didn't vote for trump either.
