As I've been thinking over the past two days about the election of Trump. His voters and supporters absolutely do not want a boring, sane, steady, rational and deliberate government with well thought out domestic and foreign policies. They want to get up every morning and say 'what will Trump do/say next'? They LOVE the reality TV Presidency and the surprises and chaos that his actions and rhetoric bring on a daily basis. They also love the toxic masculinity that Trump portrays, especially if it is cruel and violent (i.e. 'eat the cats, eat the dogs, round up 11,000,000 immigrants and put them in detention camps, separate immigrant children from their parents, have a firing squad shoot Liz Chaney in the face, etc etc). They can't get enough of it, and many of the rural Bubbas working blue collar jobs and living blue collar lives wish they could be just like Trump.
