Not “he”; “they”. They aren’t coherent; haven’t you been paying attention? Trump supporters are mad as hell and they’re not gonna take it anymore. THEY DO NOT CARE FOR FACTS NOR ABOUT CONSEQUENCES. They see Trump acting out and they like it, because they want to be able to act out as well. They will do so at the polls this year, saying “fuck you” in the only way they think they reasonably can because part of their anger is fueled by their perceived impotence in the governance of this country. They gave Hope & Change a chance for 8 years and all they hear from the people speaking to them in the media is that things suck in America. They don’t trust the establishment because Obama is still President, they don’t trust the Democrats because of what they hear from media personalities, they don’t trust Hillary because nobody trusts Hillary. They don’t really trust Donald, but they don’t care: they just want to say “fuck you” to politics and government. I’m not condoning their attitudes; just explaining what I’m hearing and seeing. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/trump-general-election-viability-predictions/747338)._
