Especially as it becomes clear that Trump will achieve the Republican nomination, it is worthwhile to join the public chorus decrying and bemoaning his success. So far, the assaults on his knowledge, experience and temperament have not damaged his standing within his chosen demographic. Since the Donald stands impervious, it is time to identify his supporters as the small-minded people that they are.
To a man, they are Luddites, wishing to return to an industrial Arcadia that never existed.
And they are Fantasists, believing it feasible to deport 3% of the U.S population (11 million divided by 324 million).
They are Materialists in their simplistic conviction that financial deals are the basis for prosperity and security.
They are Chauvinists in their mercantile ideal of “winning’ trade.
Perhaps they are not individually any more racist and misogynistic than other sometimes respectable populations but their un-civil behavior provokes confrontation.
Their gatherings are animated by grievance, not opportunity or achievement.
They are losers!
Take a Trump supporter to lunch and tell them what you think of them.
