Now that Trump has won, half the nation is upset because they didn't vote for him. The other half is hoping for a better future with him.
And yet, there's a subset of that group of his voters that is going to be sorely disappointed in the coming months/years. It's not all of them, obviously, but it's a significant group that expects Trump to start clearing out brown people and building a wall to keep them out. They expect him to make them prosperous by cutting taxes on corporations and removing minimum wage. They expect him to bring all the business back to America. There is this subset of Americans for Trump that expect him to put Hillary in jail, to go after anyone who "betrays" him or isn't "loyal" to him. They expect this because that's what they chose to hear him say, even if Trump can weasel out of those kinds of things quite easily.
When this doesn't happen exactly as it was promised, or as they had interpreted it, those people will also be disappointed and let down.
- Yup. When they realise they've been conned it's going to turn nasty. He's as much a part of the establishment as 'educated' elites.monoboy
- They got seriously punk'd. But I'm an adult, and I'll keep my mind open and hope for the best.monospaced
