Prof Rothkopf's take on Trump supporters
He calls it "The Shallow State" and contrasts it with the nonexistent "deep state" in terms of threats. On that and his description of what Trump supporters are looking for I'm hard pressed to disagree. More at https://goo.gl/zTsE7J

"Get past the surface and youll see that ALL of Trumps actions to date have advanced the interests of the wealthiest and most powerful. What a coincidence..."
--------------------------------------------------------------------
And yet several folks there voted for Trump and said as much proudly. Folks many of us here thought we knew. Many folks in that thread are still trying to justify their votes there and explain why it was better to vote Trump.
And in advance of those folks who are going to reply criticizing me for talking about JPR, it is important to examine how people saying they are on the left can go off the rails to the point they supported this loon we have in the White House, screwing us all.

Donald Trump's disapproval rating among Americans is skyrocketing.
Donald Trump's disapproval rating among Americans is skyrocketing.
Trump's 55% disapproval level in Gallup polling already equals the worst of Obama's Presidency which occurred in Nov 2014. Trump's net -15% approval (55% disapproval vs 40% approval) is worse than Obama ever had. Obama's worst was -12% in Nov 2014 https://goo.gl/csfj4U
