I’ll repost this once again because it bears repeating:

> [@The Trump Administration: A Clusterfuck in the Making](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-trump-administration-a-clusterfuck-in-the-making/774070/2536):
>
> That Trump has been able to overcome that satire and achieve the presidency despite being a legendary ass clown of a businessman speaks to some heretofore unexpressed desperation on the part of many Americans about a nation and a future they no longer feel to be a part of or represented by. And as easy as it is to just label Trump voters as a class as bigots and idiots, there is the case to be made that even if they are less than accepting of egalitarian progress, they deserve and require a degree of representation and respect by virtue of being citizens of this nation. (I refer to essentially decent people living in decaying Rust Belt and coal mining towns who really just want assurance of some kind of future, not avowed racist fuckholes of the Ku Klux Klan or alt-right worshipers of Steve Bannon-espoused conspiranoia.) Politics on both sides can’t just neglect the “middle third” because they aren’t on the economically more productive coasts, because these are the people who keep us fed and suffer neglect at the hands of exploitative corporations who move operations as suits them, leaving a void of jobs and pollution behind them.
