Tough to sow seeds from prison. I don’t think they allow conjugal visits with 15 year olds.

That's agist.

‘Using the Lord’s name in vain’: Evangelicals chafe at Trump’s blasphemy

that's what it takes?

Jesus fucking Christ!

That just goes against everything America stands for.

This attack on immigrants below the poverty line — isn’t it likely to offend some of his base? Surely they’ll recognize the inherent classicism and know where they stand, right? Right???

Trump’s presumed lower education/income/hate on coastal elites eats that up because as a general rule, it is effective rhetoric to identify and vilify a group in a worse situation than where the hypothetical base is. It makes them feel good because it gives them someone to stick their nose up at. Classic psychological device to use.

I for one am not convinced that 40% of the American voter that counts for his base are comprised of this. I think the base comes from all socio-economic spaces - and while some take his rhetoric to heart, many of his supporters don’t believe in what he says at all but tribally get a huge kick out of him sticking his thumb in liberals eyes and causing the daily outrage machine to churn in overdrive. In fact, I am inclined to think that hurting the perceived enemy is more satisfying than actually doing any good for the country.
