I don't disagree with you. Many people won't be fine and I will stand shoulder to shoulder with them against the bullshit they have to go through on a daily basis. But given these things and putting food on the table and feeding their kids every day. What do you think people look to do first? Stand up for their principles, morals and beliefs or feed their kids? The other things can be fixed tomorrow in their minds. I'm not saying I agree that these things should be swept aside, ignored, accepted, everything you state is important and needs to be fixed absolutely. But people care about themselves and their circumstance before their principles. They will satisfy their principles tomorrow once their kids are fed and their bills are paid.

Which demographic would have been unable to put food on the table under Hillary but not under Trump? Not trying to be snide; I'm genuinely curious.

  It's not about who will or won't it's about perception, for right or wrong. Under Hillary, the perception is that the 1% would continue to get richer and the poor would continue to get poorer while lobbyists continue to control the Government fanning the flames of the perception of Government corruption that runs salt in the wounds of those left fighting tooth and nail for the scraps that are left. Under the Donald, there is an offer of hope that this blusterous bigot who doesn't give a fuck what anyone but he wants himself cannot be bought by the establishment has offered a promise of bringing jobs they can do back home. The masses living in poverty don't give a flying fuck about the 1% who benefit from a lobby controlled Government who's only concern appears to be Wall St. - and nor should they when their primary concern is putting food in their kids mouths. Whether these perceptions are valid or not, whether or not the Donald will make good on these apparently empty promises, these are the perceptions that make up a large part of the country's reality and that is what people voted to fix. So the demographic that perceives they're going to benefit are the 99% that have been left behind by corporate America.
