Hey, “friend,” when you cut through all the bullshit, hate is the most powerful of unifying agents. Trump’s most fanatical followers like Neo Nazis and Klan types know that at heart Trump is a human wrecking ball. That’s what they love about him. The more havoc he unloads the better.

These folks are filled with animosity and want someone upon which to vent their anger and self-loathing. Of course there are always the minorities upon whom to expel their bile. But in this case they have also invented a special bogeyman to hate. They have created in their own minds the mythical “elites” that need to be punished — basically decent, moderately successful people who are not driven primarily by anger.

But ironically it is the run of the mill Trump supporter whom the Donald really ends up punishing, as he and his Republican accomplices shovel money needed for their essentials to the super wealthy. Warren Buffett states that Trump’s tax cut handed his organization and extra 29 billion off the top.

But, still, though the target of your hate makes no sense, it sure must feel good for you and your kind to see Trump do his nasty — sad.
