MEMPHIS — Just interviewed Trump voter/volunteer who tells me she’s attended more than 30 MAGA rallies. Explains it’s a network of people who’ve met there & become friends. “You have your regulars & your first-timers.” #TNSEN

I guess I would find it surprising. We've seen so much attention given and so many press profiles of Trump supporters over the past two years that I feel like they're pretty well understood at this point. Doesn't seem like a lot of new depths left to mine.

Missing teeth, elementary vocabulary, and a beer palette that hasn’t expanded beyond Bud Light.

As much as I’d like to think so, it’s largely not true. You might appreciate Selena Zeto’s book the Great Revolt. It made me realize there are several different groups w/different interests. It’s important to get what drove them into Trump’s arms.

Exactly. The underestimation of the people who actually support Trump and the ideologies he represents are what the polls slept on in 2016. Don’t make the same mistake. A lot of suits at those rallies.

I know Manhattan millionaires that are on board with the agenda because they want lower taxes to keep more of their money. They want tighter borders (for poorly explained reasons). They want deregulation to open up new investment opportunities. There's a craven selfishness there

Bingo! The libertarians hate paying taxes that might go to someone out of work or sick. But they are happy to use the roads taxes pay for!

Wonder what you might learn interviewing people who were smart enough not to vote for him about how they feel.
-
Yeah, where are the profiles of non-Trump supporters? Aren't their opinions important?

Really telling. It shows that the rallys only represent Trumputinski's most rabid fans, rather than anything real. He has a pack of braying sycophantic fanatics following from rally to rally, state to state, rather than filling them with actual residents of the places he's going.

Hi David. You can interview me. I've spent the last 14 months registering people to vote along with many many many other volunteers around the country. Do our views and opinions count?

Information like "Racists like being around other racists and feel comfortable inviting other racists to be part of their racists meet ups." Explains it’s a network of people who’ve met there & become friends. “You have your regulars & your first-timers.” This describes the KKK.
