Paul. “Why did people vote for Donald Trump? Voters explain.” The Guardian, 2016. Doesn’t want the government to be keeping secrets from him. “Trump is a slimy scumbag, who wears it like a badge of honour. But Trump is exactly what you get, Hillary is a phantom and you can’t know what’s real about her. Fainting in New York saying it was heat when it was a mild day, then saying it was pneumonia finally. Lying straight-faced about her emails.” I don’t understand Paul’s logic. He literally said that Trump is shameless and slimy scumbag and then votes for him. He is probably one of the many people, including democrats, who disapprove of Hillary being a Washington insider. I think that Paul was not aware of everything going on during the election

“Why did people vote for Donald Trump? Voters explain.” The Guardian, 2016. Seems to be blurting out random fluff that everyone wants to hear, but like the Republicans trying to repeal Obamacare, has no plan for how to achieve those goals. Arlene says “The first woman president should have integrity and that historic moment should not be tainted by someone like Hillary Clinton. Donald Trump might not have political experience but I truly believe he has the American people’s interest at heart. We need to bring jobs back to our country, make the economy stronger and hopefully unite all people. I feel Obama has put a wedge between the people of this country. We should be looked at as individual merits and not by the colour of our skin. Trump won’t take nonsense from anyone and he doesn’t have any special interest he has to make happy. He’s for the people!” I feel bad for Arlene because she genuinely seems to have a heart and wants the best for our country but seems to be lacking political knowledge. Who doesn’t want jobs, united people, and a strong economy? Also, she called Obama divisive and racist, yet cheers on Trump, who is quite possibly the most racist person I have ever seen. Furthermore, Trump only tries to appeal to “the people” to boost his huge ego. One reason that people voted for Trump that you mentioned in class is that people cannot handle so much change at once: a black president and then a woman president would be an awful lot for them to get used …show more content…
They are also probably angry that immigrants from places like Poland and Mexico come to the U.S. to fill up greatly needed jobs like a carpenter, electrician, and plumbing jobs, and then make more than these disenfranchised people. Trump’s voters are enraged that these immigrants walked on into their country America, worked hard like they did, and are now better off than they are. Mark Rupert. Ideologies of Globalization. 2000. Pg 96. Describes this struggle. “On the contrary, I want to suggest that far-right resistance to globalization is understandable as a response to changing socio-economic circumstances, a response which draws upon the cognitive resources available in popular common sense to understand a complex and changing world in a way which maintains a stable identity.” These people who live way outside major cities want to stay in their own bubble and not have to compete with the rest of the world. Trump is now their leader and he tells his supporters everything that they want to hear and it is very effective because of confirmation bias; most people won’t argue with what they want to
