I see so much on Facebook about #Trump and his followers, how they are racists, undereducated, haters and more. I see my more #liberal friends grouping whole #conservative groups that same way.
I want to say that I don't agree with Trump or his beliefs but I do have thoughts one why I feel he's doing so well in the polls and primaries and I'm going to spell it out here.
There is a large part of the country that is tired of "politics as usual". They are tired of everyone getting a participation trophy when there are clear winners and losers. They are tired of the absence of common sense in the school districts when it comes to reactions to normal activities. They are tired about having their parental rights taken from them by governmental agencies who "think" they know best. They are tired of politicians dividing the country based on race, economics, sex and religion. They are tired of politicians making all of the rules, or changing the rules to fit their agendas, with total disregard to what the people of the country want or need. They are tired of the total lack of transparency that is going on with the government, at all levels. They are tired of being forced to just accept things being forced upon them, and if they don't like it they are penalized with fines, or having their children kicked out of school, or losing their jobs. They are tired of politics being bought and paid for by several companies that seem to control everything, from who gets elected to who gets jobs in key government jobs where their decisions affect millions.
They are trying to get those things changed and they are going with the one who is making the most noise about it. I don't feel that all of Trump's followers really feel the same way he does about all things, but they see him as someone who may be able to change the "politics as usual". The problem here is much deeper than #Trump and his followers.
Those are just my thoughts.
