According to CNN (If you can trust them) only 38% of Americans support Trump, that is small compared to the majority but that still means that 129 Million people support Trump after everything. And I genuinely don’t know how, because there are many rich country-club republicans who support him and it makes sense for them by why rural Appalachian farmers support him?!?! And they don’t just support him, they would literally die for this man, they are hive-minded-cattle, many boomers literally don’t speak to their children who don’t support Trump. I don’t even think similar populist strong-men like Putin have supporters like this (Correct me if I’m wrong). Like maybe you could say that Mao, Castro, Tito, Nasser, or Kim Il-Sung had ride or die supporters like this but that makes sense because they improved the lives of their people, Trump has not improved the lives of the working people at all, like what does a rural, Appalachian, Gen X, farmer get out of supporting Trump? Trump just made this hypothetical person unable to go to a nearby hospital, unable to by affordable gas or fertilizer, and in his first term Trump killed his mom with Covid.
I know that many will reply “They’re stupid don’t try to dissect it” but I will anyways.
First of all for decades the Republican Party and even the Democratic Party has gutted education in order to make these people stupid.
Second of all whenever something is bad Trump gives them an explanation weather it be Brown people, trans people, or Chyna, it is bullshit but democrats which are the only other option and they don’t provide any explanation, and since they are uneducated and lack critical thinking skills they buy Trumps shit.
Third of all the rural working class is deeply evangelical and in their culture they teach their kids to look up to their abusive fathers so as adults these KKKhristians imprint on Trump.
Fourth of all Trump is a Slopulist and he larps as Anti-Elitist during his elections by calling out lobbyists and industrial complexes but goes back on it when he is back in office.
Fifth of all, boomers are stuck-up and don’t want to admit when they have been bamboozled so they think that they have no choice but to keep supporting him.
Sixth of all, culturally among suburban liberals they are taught to be respectful to others with different political views while rural conservatives are taught the opposite so no one ever wants to slap someone shit into these people.
we are living in the era of peak narcissism thanks to social media which has been an absolute boon for narcissists who crave being the center of attention, so it stands to reason that the most idolized person in the entire world and president of the united states is donald trump.
If we're talking about specifically the rural evangelical faction of the trump camp and there loyalty I think PedoCon theory has some explanatory power. An indictment of Trump for being a mammnon worshipping pedophile would be just as much an indictment of them as well. the insta account ReichWingWatch is fairly libbed up but also a good repository of the sheer amount of evangelical trumptards who are also constantly catching CP charges. That being said this doesn't really account for the entire 38% (I hope)
The answer is simple. Treats
>>2740177why would someone motivated solely my cheap trinkets from the global south be pro tariff? to protect domestic treat production?
>>2740178Oh fuck! My bad, I didn’t put this in USA pol because it was so long and I wanted to make a much larger discussion, my bad
>>2740177Trump has made treats harder to get
Trump is a multi-billionaire and for decades has been a household name due to his hotels, casinos, and even popular TV show "The Apprentice" which he starred in. His name has always been synonymous with money, power, business, real estate, glamour, and success, despite legal scandals he has been involved in. For old people this is how they see him. For young people they weren't even born during that era of Trump's fame.
that trump famil thing is a comedy skit right?
>>2740247omg i wish, the podcast is "the necessary conversation" and the dad acts like that every episode ngl the shit he says is so dumb and hurtful i circle back to thinking he's funny
>>2740280I like how it drew liberals in the same flattering John McNaughton art style as the upper tiers
>>2740149By 21st century American politician standards, Trump is doing great currently and that’s all it really takes. With the evangelicals they’re weird already so anything they do in politics is going to have their weirdness in it. If they weren’t spastic morons they wouldn’t believe prophecies from book of Revelations. They’re weirdos who like Trump not weird BECAUE they like Trump
>>2740280underrated meme format
>>2740286conservatives are always secretly envious of liberals, which is why they want to be legitimised by them
>>2740179So the lazy parasite yanks can keep what little real job and the power that comes from being labor aristocrat. Unions support tariff
>>2740229Thats what the treatler always says. Thats what trump told the treatlers to win both times. Real wage data demonstrate you are wrong. The labor aristocrat fatter than ever. Fell for it again. The treatler says their lives always gets worse but they are wrong for they defy imperialist material law of uneven development.
>>2740305ok we get it ur a self hating amerifat lil broski
He used to be funny and piss off liberal media
>>2740320You must be projecting. Only chauvinistic babykilling yankoid bother typing that
>>2740149Damn thats a sad video but reality for many.
Holy fuck. Did everyone watch thst video with the two boomers and the liberal girl? That girl is retarded. Trump literally isn’t in the Epstein files. She makes herself look bad
>>2740361Epstein is a nothingburger, working class Americans do far worse shit than he does every day
>>2740336I’m so Lucky none of my relatives support Trump, my parents are Berniecrats my grandma is a Biden dead-ender and my other grandma likes RFK but I can live with that
>>2740149It's not something I really understand but weird cults like this have always existed. It's not really reducible to low autism score. The area just needs more study.
>>2740261I can picture the dad posting on /Siberia/
>>2740261>>2740272Are you two american? Do you know any families where the boomer parents are like that? The whole video seems scripted from how bizarre it is. Also why would they even agree to be part of those videos?
>>2740409No one cares about your old true crime slop
>>2740409Ummmm he’s not? Bill Clinton literally said he’s not.
>>2740177You are a dumb inbred redditor
>>2740149>Third of all the rural working class is deeply evangelical and in their culture they teach their kids to look up to their abusive fathers so as adults these KKKhristians imprint on Trump.Having this Deliverance-ass classist snobbery towards these kinds of people is pretty much the easiest big reason, first of all, why these people would rather die than be Left-wing. They care about their roots and have a deep pride in that. People talk about traumatic Small Town American culture and act like somehow we are worse than everyone else. Lmao, are you blind or sheltered?
Trump spoke to their needs, something Democrats haven't done. They've internalized that, economically, they're just in their own. Actual socialist policies that would've helped them have been totally delegitimized in their eyes. But these people are not stupid just because they don't look at life through your academic worldview.
>culturally among suburban liberals they are taught to be respectful to others with different political views while rural conservatives are taught the opposite so no one ever wants to slap someone shit into these people.The fact that the people who are overwhelmingly compared to Suburbia veterans with more experience with violence generally have not actually formed the Right-Wing Death Squads and made it impossible for you to ever leave the city limits in spite of the fact that, from their point of view, Leftists literally hate them because they exist (in essence) should say a lot more about the fact that they are capable of being respectful.
We didn't wake up one day in this political climate and the Right definitely didn't start it. It started with Democrats race-baiting, which created this blowback, which inevitably just serves to further undermine any attempt at getting these people even a smidgen of class consciousness.
How about this for a fucking start: quit looking down your nose at these people and understand them. Matter of fact just stay in your lane because you're just going to do more harm than good to those of us from these cultures who are trying to make any real change.
Once upon a time, Appalachia for example was literally forming guerilla bands to fight the fucking army over Coal Mines. Maybe ask what happened there, and then keep studying it from your ivory tower and fuck off.
>>2740149Euro-Americans are völkerabfälle, non-historic peoples and cannot seize power. Euro-America forms the cast-off ruins of European nations. However, by the nature of their struggles against oppression, the non-white American nations have formed historical nations. Urban Euro-America is being absorbed into the progressive non-white American nations at a much faster pace than the non-historical rural Euro-America. Urban America also has much more material options for women's independence.
It's a mistake to assume that non-historic peoples are always reactionary but in many situations and times they can become quite reactionary. Everything that Engels said about the Slavs really applies to Euro-America.
