One thing I was thinking as I watched the pictures last Wednesday was that it was a pissed up mob at work, but, having seen a few very short interviews after the event with some who were there, that didn't strike me as being the case. I listened to what they had to say and still felt the same sense of complete bewilderment as to why they feel like they do - some of them sounded pretty intelligent, but, in the short time they were talking they could not convey anything which made me begin to understand what they were driving at.
Hi NYCB, I don't really understand the ins and outs of the Affordable Care Act but neither can I understand why the vast majority of Trump supporters disagree with it. I mean if you strip away all the big corporations the sort of rabble which stormed the Capitol last Wednesday look as though they haven't got a.pot to piss in! I'm obviously missing something important but why would they not want medical care to be more "affordable"? On the face of it they're cutting off their noses to spite their faces.
The more I watch stuff like this, the more it seems that these are the real snowflakes.

An awful lot of people are distancing themselves from Trump now but Trump would not have won the election as an independent. He won because the Republican Party championed his cause, he won because Murdoch funded press championed his cause, he won because social media platforms such as facebook and twitter allowed him and his supporters to spread an awful lot of misinformation without consequence.
He was also welcomed by this Conservative government (remember when Sajid Javid was turned away from the banquet with Trump?), was meant to be their lifeline after Brexit as the UK becomes more American, and he gave life to right-wing politics around Europe.
12 of the 24 American Presidents have been able to nominate 3 Justices to Supreme Court but the Republican blocked Obama from doing it before then swinging the other way allowing Trump to do it. That's what the Republican's really wanted from Trump and he delivered for them; some of them are now separating from him away because he's no longer able to deliver and their careers are on the line.
