I feel like I've talked to one trump supporter living in flyover country, I've pretty much talked to them all.
I've talked to a lot of them, and I gather they seem to believe that you "make America better" by "making America worse". That's my broad impression of Trump supporters.
Like their idea is giving Americans harder and worse lives by and large, will improve their lives, builds character or something. The "pussification of America" they often decry. It seems having 10's of millions of Americans living in massive homeless shanty towns like the Hoovervilles of the 1930's will remedy that problem.
For example, they support chinese debt financed tax cuts. They know full well debt has to be paid back, they don't care though. All that additional deficit this year has to be paid back, but they don't care about the long term, they care about the now, and present, even if it means shittier times in the future.
It's like yea, enjoy your tax cut now, because what financing that tax cut, is rolling US Treasury bonds off the printing presses by the $1 trillion per year. And the one who's gonna pay those bonds back, is ultimately going to be the tax payer.
So anyways that's basically my broad impression of Trump supporters, they believe they "make Americans lives better" by "making Americans lives worse".
