Why are People Voting for Trump?

Here’s what I think

I totally get why Elon Musk supports Trump. Donald Trump has made it very clear that he plans to support the interests of billionaires.

I also understand why certain pragmatic voters don’t like Donald Trump as a person but are going to hold their noses and vote for him because they think he’ll be better at protecting their particular interests than Kamala Harris will.

For instance? I know several straight white men, seniors like me, who believe that Trump will make the world better place for straight white men. And they’d rather live in that world.

I’d rather not live in that world myself but I understand why they would.

There are pro-lifers who will vote for Trump because he once promised to appoint Supreme Court judges who would reverse Roe v. Wade — and he kept that promise. They’re hoping that now he’ll give them a nationwide abortion ban. And he just might.

There are people who believe that the borders to this country should be closed. They plan to vote for Trump too.

Some voters embrace Trump because they, like Trump are racists and/or misogynists.

A lot of people will vote for him because they actually believe his lies.
