Why people are supporting Trump

This analysis is just as good now as it was then.  Read it all, but here's the gist:

Trump in word, deed, and very existence reflects the main sentiment that a good chunk of the population wants to express right now, and that sentiment is "fuck you."

And boy does Trump know how to sell "fuck you." He did it for years on The Apprentice, cleaned up as "You're fired." He's going for force the Mexicans to pay for a wall at the southern border? That's not a serious policy statement. That's "fuck you, amnesty proponents", and whether they realize it, admit it, or not, that's exactly what people want to hear.

They'll tell you, "He takes it to Obama and Hillary. He fights!" but what they they really mean is "Fuck you, Democrats, and fuck you, establishment Republicans."

"He can't be bought!" Fuck you, lobbyists. Fuck you, corporate interests.

"He's not a politician!" Fuck you, Washington. Fuck you, pollsters.

"He stirs things up!" Fuck you, pundits. Fuck you, media.

Fuck. You.
