what do Trumpists really want?

I suppose I would still vote against concealed carry.  I feel less safe knowing people around me are packing heat.  If your son or daughter wanted to marry someone of the same sex, I think we can assume that they were gay.  You're refusing to allow the marriage wouldn't make them less gay, so wouldn't you rather that they were in a stable marriage rather than running around?  But maybe it's not the gayness that bothers you, maybe it's just the marriage part.  How about if at their nuptials they promised never to make a spectacle of themselves and never to try to take over? 

But the point is that I was wrong in thinking that concealed carry would result in mayhem in the streets and that you were wrong in thinking letting gays marry would ruin your marriage.  But what if we slashed taxes even more on the rich and the money trickled down and the poor peoples' boats all rose, and what if we had generous welfare programs that got the bums off their butts and back on the payroll? 

Off course there is no pure political system but I am using the reps and the dems as they are.  They roughly fit into a left/right, collectivist/individualist configuration. 

Correction, the republicans have been screaming and yelling about repealing Obamacare.  They have not done a damn thing to repeal it.  They hold votes that they know will have no effect, just to please the folks back home in their safe district.  They bring the government to a halt knowing that that will have no effect on Obamacare and that in the end they will have to cave and get nothing for it. 

If they really wanted to repeal Obamacare, wouldn't you think they would declare the current system is fine and dandy, which they haven't.  Or maybe they would have their own great plan (Trump has one, he has said so) to replace it, but the closest they get to that is to mumble something about health saving accounts and letting insurance policies go across state borders and then they clear their throats brusquely and move onto the next topic.

On the same subject they scream and yell, and I daresay, make spectacles of themselves, about the importance of choosing the next supreme court judge and yet everything they do, far more than anything the dems do, makes it a lead pipe cinch that they will never be appointing anybody.

You know I believe I could be sitting in the Ten Cat drinking a beer and if you walked in and saw me you would immediately think, why is Uncle Ken drinking beer?  He must be up to something.

Trump is not hard to believe.  There are a million big fucking assholes in the USA, some of them even richer than Trump.  The thing that is hard to believe is why so many people like him.  Well, the pundits ramble, times are tough, but times have been tougher in the past, and even if times were tougher than ever why would anybody believe that a character like Trump could or would help them out???  ????   ?????

I'll tell you, here in the true blue city of Chicago I can't say that I have come across a Trumpist this election season.  But I'll wager that there are plenty in your little hat on top of the other little hat on the top of Michigan, there are plenty.  I don't know how much you get out and about among the citizenry, but maybe you could track down a Trumpist or two and find out what they are thinking.
