One thing both “extremes” seem to have in common; they think things aren’t working.

The vast majority of people I personally know dislike both the ‘protesters’ (punks and no good low lifes) and President Trump and his supporters. I know it’s just where I live, but 80 percent of the people I work with and know socially wanted more of the same, society as it is and moving in the direction it’s been moving. Of course where I live the economy is good and getting better. That was the big mistake Hillary made, hanging out in the bubble where things are OK, and that’s how she ran; the reality is that for people who don’t live in areas like I do (northern CA wine country) things are bad and not getting better; Trump knew that and thus won. If I stayed in the bubble and didn’t listen to friends and relatives in places like Indiana and Montana, I’d be surprised, too. They get mad when I say I don’t see President Trump as anything terribly radical, racist or out of alignment with traditional American domestic and foreign policy; it’s only been since WW2 that anything other than ‘America First’ would have been considered normal.
