The basest of Trump’s base love him because he just doesn’t give a damn about anything. He is the personification of an FU to the establishment. He shatters standards, norms, guardrails, democratic values, and anything else he can get his small, little hands on. His peeps love it. He lies, they know it, and it makes him stronger. He invites them to chant “Build the Wall,” and they are happy to obey. Like Pavlov’s Dog, they scream “lock her up.” He prostrates himself before Putin, and they prostrate themselves before him. They do this because they believe that Trump is a latter day Robin Hood. He steals from the elite, and gives to real Americans. However, Trump is no Robin Hood. He is a Robbin’ Hood, who steals from anyone he can and keeps it for himself and his friends.
Trump tried to steal healthcare from his followers, who are the very people who need it the most. He tried to do it in plain sight. His followers were beguiled because they never believed that anyone would be so bold as to chisel you to your face. Then he promised a tax cut for all while diverting trillions of dollars to corporations and the wealthiest Americans, bragging to his band of merry men at Mar-a-Lago about how much money he made them. Where was the base? They were being three card monte’d by the Mueller investigation and the corrupt media. Trump funnels government business to his own hotels, yet the base does not care because Trump claims that he is doing their bidding and sticking it to the man. The cruel joke is that he is the man, and he is sticking it to them.
The base will say that they have gotten someone who will protect gun rights and the right to life. What they do not understand is that Trump would easily cave on these issues if he received a better offer. He has no principles, and he certainly doesn’t care about theirs. He is an opportunist and a con man. He is stealing their ability to discern fact from fiction. He is stealing their environment. He is stealing their future.
