    Trump and Sanders were able to grow a huge grassroots movement for a reason, what they speak about gets the working class going.

      One is backed by progressives the other by fascists. One is for the people, the other rapes them. One is pro democracy, the other is a wannabe dictator.

      Other than they both raised money, that’s about where the similarities end.

      Ah, yes, the things trump speaks about.

      Including, but not limited to

      Pussy grabbing

      Nuking hurricanes

      Injecting …bleach?

      How much he loves the uneducated demographic.

      How much better he is than everyone at everything despite no formal accredations.

      All he’s missing is trucks, beer, hunting, and Jesus, and we have a working class hero, I guess?

        His underlying message is racism. Sadly there is still a lot of deep seeded racism in this country and he gives racists an outlet.

          His underlying message is that it’s still okay to be a selfish asshole, there’s just a lot of overlap
