I don't personally like welfare but these people are not lazy or opportunists but really mentally, psychiatrically, physically limited. These guys pass the day at home, rehab, and dialysis centers listening to Hanity, Ingraham and watching fox for hours. They are lonely and socially isolated it gives them a purpose. They are generally nice. But I have seen it they shared with me how they believe Trump will help them cause he is going to punish illegals. When many of them are on public assistance and are seen as vermin by many Trump supporters. It gives them a reason to feel good cause they aren't the bottom of society anymore. I believe politics is about self interest but they vote against their own interest. As my wife a very smart progressive told me Conservatives have trained their bases to vote against their own interest and use wedge issues and divide and conquer techniques like no other. I have to say I see this played out here just as it is often on my rounds dealing with these folks in my job. I am not a doctor not that kind of rounds, lol. But you can't win them over to your side with logic. Might as well stop. Only a more interesting more entertaining figure can. An other celebrity an other figure that they will like.
