Arguably, Trump voters and Socialists want the same thing

I care about rhetoric. In an autistic world possibly most people would vote and act based on policy positions. We are in a NT world where hidden meanings, tone, body language are much more important then the specific policy positions. As Trump has not been elected yet he has not had the chance to take any actions so all we got we to go o is actions unrelated to presidential policy and rhetric, tone hidden meanings and body language. If you believe in an autistic traits spectrum, Trump is as much on the NT end as one can get.

Republican leaders aren't better which is why the base of the party radically rejected and overthrew it's supposed leaders, Trump's pro-American populism is the future of the party or at least is the way it makes it seem. Make no mistake this is a hostile takeover, one that could only be waged by a warrior like Donald Trump who has the wealth, stature, and cajones to be independent of this entrenched establishment and willing to go to war with it. He won and they lost, most politicians are mercenaries(a lot nicer term than I probably would use IRL) who follow the political winds AND THE MONEY more than being true ideologues so I definitely see things changing. The internet has democraticized flow of information and it turns out that most Americans do not think that their own government has their best interests at heart, this populism has always been apart of the American spirit but now the grip the powers that have controlled this country for decades is finally loosening to enough to allow real opposition and real calls for change. Our elections have been a joke for a long long time, superficial issues nobody really cares about. 2012 was an embarrassment and now 2016 is the correction of that narrative driven manipulation. The GOP has always had an underclass and now they are starting to wake up to the fact that there more of them than they are those that wish to control them.

Illegal immigration and the fight against Islamic extremism are issues that very important to a good majority of Americans, those that try to paint those issues as something only white supremacists care about are purposely trying to poison the well on those issues. There isn't anything racist about wanting secure borders and to not want to invite a literal fifth column into this country, look at the damage that it has done in Europe already. Do you think I am racist? Do you think my views are racist?

'Make America Great Again' is a POWERFUL statement and one I strongly identify with because it is absolutely true in my life growing up where up where I did around the abandoned and forgotten people of this middle of this country. I walked thru the ruins of a once great America in decrepit rotting factories and boarded up shops every day of my life, in the birthplace of American progressivism. I physically can see the decline, the decay, my people were abandoned and that doesn't mean white people. Wages have been stagnant for more than 40 years, the jobs are gone, education inflation and debt slavery has made upward mobility an impossibility for so many and not like you'd even get into college with pathetic excuse for schooling we have in this country, things have not gotten better. The city I grew up in, the birthplace of progressevism and American socialism, has been called the most segregated city in America and that is not just racial but economic. This country needs radical change, the coastal elites can't understand this as they have been so fortunate as the rich become richer and the poor become poorer but that has to change. This is the start, not the end.

Trump wants to build a wall to keep illegal intruders out, socialists will need to build a wall to keep the contributing citizens in.

Who gives a crap about how rhetoric is taken? These people are American citizens and free to vote however they want, why are you so obsessed about what they are doing? Would you jump off a bridge if they told you not to? It's a silly nonsensical way of voting. Code words, what does that even mean? You think these people were going to vote for Hillary but like some Manchurian candidate are activated by Trump's words which he really doesn't talk about even a fraction of the amount that the media talks about. You are very easily led astray Bill, they know how to manipulate people like you exactly how I said. They've tried to poison the well of the issues of illegal immigration and Islamic extremism as racist issues, you can't talk about them without being a called a racist by these people and that's exactly what Trump's fight against political correctness is about. We have corrupt media that has a incestuous relationship with our government and the interests of big business, in the past they were able to control the narrative as they controlled the media but as I said the flow of information has been democracized thru the internet.

I support Trump because he is the best candidate running that most closely represented my views. I agree with him on trade, immigration, and foreign policy. He ended the political dynasty of the Bush family and has embarrassed the media talking heads and neoconservatives, he's won his credibility with me.

I don't see white supremacists behind every corner, it's not an issue I am too concerned about. The issues we have in this country are institutional, not individual.

I can't agree with your premise; Sanders wants to further the rights and encourage the participation of ordinary people. I can't see how Trump would want that. One thing I feel they both have in common is that they both have hair-brained ideas that will never get the approved funding needed to carry them out.( It appears they've forgotten they are not going to be elected as Kings or Dictators with absolute power) I can't vote for Clinton either as I don't feel she would be much better than either of them. I will just have to sit this election out unless I just cast a protest vote for some 3rd party candidate.

What non-white female Trump supporters are saying:

- He puts Americans first
- He recognizes the difference between illegal and legal immigrants
- He understands that we are here to pursue our American dream.
- He’s going to put American cities first
- He’s real and he speaks his mind.
- We have so many rights here that I would not get if I was in my country, and Trump wants to protect those rights
-We love this country. Trump is going to surround himself with good people
-We’re going to be better off with him
