- strikelaserclaw 7y agoTrump is just a first in a long line of populists yet to come from the right and left. I don't think he can fix much but i can see why someone might think he has answers (He knows how to talk). Answers to pressing problems that are more immediate to people such as growing inequality, drug problems in rural areas, loss of American global dominance, the growing feeling that politicians and the "elites" just fool people to line their own pockets etc... Black and white thinking about the "other" side is a seems to be so rampant that even smart people seem to not be able to avoid. Topics such as these are generally plagued with emotional vitriol. Most people don't vote for politicians because of logic (How could a billionaire be anti-establishment?), but don't go believing all of them are somehow your enemies or racists or bad people, most of them are just decent average people that believe something important to them will be solved by a guy like trump (it probably won't).
