Voters were also far more likely to view Trump ... as someone who would “stand up and fight for people like you"
I'm just astounded by poll results like this. I mean, Trump already had four years and what exactly did he do for you? Oh that's right, absolutely nothing because he was too busy making changes that benefited his personal businesses or stripping federal regulations for personal rights and things like our national parks. I just don't understand why these people believe Trump is going to help them now when he only made everything worse in his first term?
I suspect people see that he's willing to fight and don't really care what he's fighting for, the mere fact that he fights (and fights dirty!) is what makes him different. Normal politicians don't seem to fight for anything and just give up whenever things become difficult or illegal 😉
I feel like this isn't the case, since some senators like Bernie Sanders are also very vocal about fighting for the rights of the common people and yet these same people are against him. Of course the difference is that Sanders doesn't make a circus-act out of his fights so he doesn't get shown on the nightly news.
But that was definitely the appeal of Sanders, though, and why I suspect he would have won in 2016. People like fighters.
