38. Because the people (their constituents) still like Trump and Trumps policies. We can't understand

Fri Feb 3, 2017, 03:32 AM

Feb 2017

these people who voted for Trump and, according to polls, still support him. Part of it is they resent us "elites." Not sure why. Maybe it's because they think we feel superior to them. I notice that the people who especially are resentful are those who either didn't go to college, or even the people who went to a crappy university are resentful if went to a better school, etc.

There is nothing that breeds resentfulness and hatred than jealousy and envy.
