@Philipnschofield Decades of neoliberal policy have left vast swathes of our heartland decimated and severely limited access to a good quality of life for many people. Trump promises he can put the genie back in the bottle. He speaks of politics and culture in ways that appeal to their "common sense" and likewise promises to make the world fit a simpler mold by any means necessary. A lot of people see that as the solution, even if it won't work or hurts people unjustly.
