THE PATHETIC MOTIVE.

I wondered why so many people are Trump fans. I came up with one reason this morning. That is if you are an angry white person who has never achieved anything or amassed a lot of money, you don't have a lot to lose. You can wait to see what happens. Maybe Donald will make your life better. But if not maybe he'll make life worse for all those people of whom you're jealous. Maybe he'll spoil things for all those blacks who are doing better than you. Maybe he'll make life tough for all those immigrants who weren't born here and look happier than you. I think Trump in many cases is just revenge to everyone who has more than you, is smarter than you, has more friends than you. He's the punishing angel to all those people who really recognize you for what you are: a petty, jealous, ignorant, loser. And what else have you got to lose? Things can't be worse than they are. So why not Trump?
