      Would be interesting to know if there are some nihilistic hipsters out there who want, just for some sick kicks, a Trump presidency.

      4. "On the underside of our society, there are those who have no real stake at all in respectable culture" -- Trump know how to reach them.

          To be fair, it's hard to know any more what constitutes "respectable" culture; and that word "respectable" is loaded.

          Trump's voters have average $72k income according to one study. Not underside of society & mistake to call them such.

          I'm talking about a cultural attitude, not income.

          How would you define "respectable culture"? One that allows bankers to plunder yet a black guy with a couple joints goes to jail?
