Opinion | What Non-MAGA Trump Supporters See In Him

The folks I are likely to know aren’t, would by no means go to a MAGA rally. For those who’re going to cowl Trump and MAGA or the Trump motion, don’t go to MAGA rallies. That’s not the consultant pattern. Most individuals I do know who voted for Trump don’t like him. They discover him troubling in a zillion methods. They disagree with sure insurance policies just like the tariffs, however they principally purchase his story. They purchase his story that the elites have betrayed us. And one of many methods the elites have betrayed us, they might say, and I form of agree, is within the Biden years, immigration simply massively exploded. And so I heard from a man from Montana final week. And he stated, speaking to progressives, “You guys had 40 years to police yourselves and also you didn’t do it. And subsequently, now it’s our flip. You had your shot.” And I might say they might say that about immigration. They might say that concerning the universities. Eighty-two % of faculty college students suppose they should mislead professors and faux they’re extra progressive than they’re so as to get via faculty. And that’s a type of tender authoritarianism, frankly. And if the schools didn’t police themselves and get extra range, then anyone was going to crack down. So I might say quite a lot of the folks I do know nonetheless suppose Trump is the appropriate reply to a bunch of significant social issues, even when they’ve a zillion completely different reservations concerning the man.
