Well, to be fair (most Trump voters are not actually voting for Donald Trump).
I voted for the man and regret it in all honesty. Though I tend to have very different reasons than most people I suppose.
The American worker has been disenfranchised by years of Reaganomics and Federal Reserve policies. Low interest rates have given rise to cheap investment in business for high return. It has also driven prices out of control, while real wages have remained stagnant more or less. They feel it at the grocery store, but they can't articulate it at the ballot box. This is how you get Trump!
Trump is a symptom, people need to understand this. NAFTA and Reaganomics has absolutely wrecked this country in the last 40 years. However, people associate Trump "Make American Great Again" with a resurgence of 1981-1986. Which in all honestly was a great time to be alive, be working, and to be raising a family. It can be confusing to understand why people vote for ideologies that destroyed their way of life later on. Even today, there's a strong minority of Russians that still show love for Stalin. They don't identify with his crimes, but rather the respect/power that is associated with him on a global scale.
Not to compare Stalin to Reagan on ethics, but the same principle applies.
