Ah, the time-honored combination of bigotry and economic populism, mixed with a wish that we were more open about our imperialism (since if these voters knew anything, they would know that President Obama is as much of an imperialist as his predecessors were in South America, Central America, Asia, and Eastern Europe).

This is the kind of quality these people want in a President? Trump will be the first President for the Youtube comment generation.

I could at least respect them for being honest about their racist viewpoints if they ever just said what they're thinking, which is what they compliment Trump for doing. Only the most angrily racist of them will just flat out say what they want, and even then we have to deal with a "I'm not racist, but" defense of their words all the time. If what you want is actually best, why the fuck can't you just verbalize it in clear English instead of talking in platitudes and coded language?

I love this country but seriously fuck these assholes. I'm ashamed to share the same citizenship as these ignorant-ass rednecks.
SMH...also more birtherism crap? College should be free so these morons get an education.
I'm just gonna sit back, grow old, and watch these people continue to freak out as America progresses further away from their idealistic vision.
Since when did the act of someone "speaking their mind" become more important than the content of what they are saying?
Constantly hear Trump supporters say "well, I don't agree with everything he says, but I like that he doesn't hold back and speaks his mind."
Just admit you agree with the racist bullshit he spews.

This is what happens when education not only is left on the back burner but is shunned in a country. It's embarrassing.
On that note, won't someone think of me? 29 white male here.

And this is why I'm very, very fearful that people are underestimating the reach of Trump's appeal in a general campaign.

the mythology of the good ole days + warped nostalgia = eeeesshh
the past was not cool, seriously. people who long for the old old glory days have no idea how much of that is oversimplified nostalgia as opposed to reality

They see trump as an outlet for these thoughts they have, but cant voice anymore because we are not in 1950 anymore
I think its good, is like in inglorious basterds, the group that was killing the nazis loved their uniform, because they could spot them easy while they were wearing it.
Same here. The more trump fleshes out the racists, the more we can understand their numebrs and motivations, and to know the enemy is the first step to combat them.

Imagine if we replace "muslim" with "gun owner."
It's extremely frustrating that the white working class doesn't understand that the problems they face come from capitalists and not from non-white people, but I suppose liberals sneering and laughing at them for being stupid uneducated redneck hicks who can't be helped isn't helping stop the persecution complex.
I only made this because it shows what kind of people stand for him.

Yup this is still a white majority country and liberals are fucking awful at voting unless we have a rockstar politician to vote for.

Is there any analysis on the education level of candidates' supporters? For Trump, I feel it tops off at high school.
Ever looked at /pol/?
There are certainly plenty of young Trump supporters. I'm in NJ and I work in an office with a lot of Millennials, and while I can say that most of them are Democrats or left-leaning independents, the "centrist"/"moderate" white ones often talk about Trump in the "Well, I don't like the way he says it, but you've gotta admit there's some truth about what he says..." kind of way. Our generation is more progressive than our parents' but there are still plenty of people who fall into the same traps.

I have 2 people in my extended family who think Trump is the best. Having said that neither of them are registered to vote. One says to avoid jury duty, the other just doesnt care.

Disgusting. Yet also correlating with most of the stereotypes I wish were more unfairly attributed to Trump supporters.
As if we needed more proof at how awful our education system can be.
Don't underestimate Trump's ability to light a fire under the minorities of this country who would normally be more apathetic, either.

That's because millennials rarely vote.
yeah, you're right. However, let's not allow these bigots to negate the fact Obama has been an ineffective/weak president. Look at how many failed Bush policies Obama continued, and even doubled down on.

Appreciate it's not all of America with these views, however chances are he will be the opponent trying to topple the opposition into the white house.
It's quite shocking TBH.

He wasn't worse than George W bush, so I'm not sure what your getting at.

Yep. What is often overlooked from 2012 is that Romney won both white women and white people under 30 by significant margins. There are plenty of white millenials who would vote for Trump.

I for one appreciate it. Up until now I totally thought his supporters simply wanted America to be so strong, so strong. And to save Christmas from Starbucks.
Trump isn't nearly as bad as GAF makes him out to be.
Comments like this, and comparing Trump to Hitler are absolutely ridiculous. He's never said anything remotely close to slavery. And comparing him to a guy who was responsible for the deaths of millions of people is so far off it's not even funny.

Bu... bu..... but i'm not racist. I've ___________ friends!!! #ALLLIVESMATTER
EDIT: ^^ See. It writes itself.
Maybe if you aren't a minority that Trump spews hatred against.
God, I really hate that Chris Rock made that nigga/black people joke. While hilarious, it just allows people to have one more justification for their bullshit.
