I actually think you have this backwards.
I think Trump is as popular as he is with some on the right because he barks back.
You can only be called a racist/sexist/homophobic/uneducated loser for so long before you rally behind someone who stands up to it.
The left in this country are legit trying to police speech. It's happening in schools and indoctrinating people. If you want to deny this is happening I'll spend some time this weekend to post dozens of examples.
Trying?
They are doing it, subtly in some ways, outright in others. If you do not follow their doctrine they will punish you in some fashion. Either fine you, public shame you or worse. You cannot have a thought or a feeling without their police saying something about it. Fu ck them and their Gestapo tactics.
I thought Nazi Germany went away with making you think like Hitler but they are scaring me more and more with their Hitler type of mandating their way of how you should think and live.
I find it funny when they riot, schit gets burned, public outcry about misdeeds, but if the Right disagrees with something, crickets, which pisses the Left off so they drum up things to try and prick and prod the Right in doing something and if that doesn't work, just make schit up.
The Right are not choir boys either. They are ruthless in obtaining the bottomline and care nothing for those who are not capable of helping the country and need others to help them. They worship the Mighty Dollar, their god and do not care who they trample to obtain it. They have this cabal of rich people that want to keep people under their foot to produce goods/services for them while paying them schit in return. Feudalism 101.
Which leads me to the Left, a bunch of Nazis that only care about controlling your every thought and way of life. To them that is power, not wealth or being poor. To me that is much worse because if I don't want to like you, I should have that right. If I don't like your lifestyle well that is my right. You have no right to tell me or fine me, imprison me or shame because it does not go along with your wishes. We made it 200 years without that thought and everything was okay but since then you are trying to make people robots to think alike and it is making America worse. They pussify our kids with snowflake indoctrination that is hurting us in schools because there is no competition unlike in Europe (everyone gets participations trophies....wtf????), competition is good and makes them educators and kids more work capable upon leaving school while ours are stuck in trailer parks or the hood because there is no INCENTIVE to be better if nanny government is taking care of you as long as you think like they do.
