Here's why some Bernie supporters might cross over to Trump

33. Ah, I meant not voting at all, but yeah.

I don't know...there's just a hashtag, youtube comment feel to both of them.
The campaigns just seem to feed of the worst energy of the internet, and a
lot of the in person supporters I've met of either (my grandpa and great-uncle
are Trump supporters...ick) which I've been able to have conversations with
often seem knowledgeable about their own candidate.

Neither group seems to like the government, or trust the government, but
both seem to want to use the government thoroughly (and neither seems
to comprehend presidential powers). Both groups are incredibly defensive
and easily perturbed. Neither seems to care about building bridges either
(except in the context of getting votes).
It's really weird actually, how the BS camp despises moderate Dems, but
seems totally open to incorporating moderate Independents and Repubs.
Or they seem to claim as much. And of course, both groups are somewhat
apocalyptic in the sense that they often have a "my way or blow it up"
attitude. Either sounds similar to the far right's "rise up/second amendment/
civil strife" attitude.
