Small Donors are Supporting Trump

[Herman]

Because he is the first presidential candidate ever to campaign on behalf of working men and women.

In the 24 hours after his conviction in May on 34 felony counts, Mr. Trump's campaign stoked its small donor base, raising nearly $53 million and shattering online records for Republicans. The haul helped him close a fund-raising gap and pull ahead of Mr. Biden, who had maintained a financial advantage through most of the campaign.

The democRATs are scared shitlessw their elitist billionaire paymasters and Hollywood millionaires ain't paying the bills they think Biden will lose.

The wealthiest ZIP codes in America are solidly Democratic.

For years, affluent and college-educated voters, mostly white, had been the base of the Republican Party. Exit polls showed Republicans winning college graduates with high incomes nationally from 1988 to 2004, and again in 2012.

That all changed under Trump. Blue collar workers who used to vote Democratic, supported Trump in 2016, 2020 and again this election cycle.

Conservatism is dead, dead, dead everywhere in the Western world. From the National Rally in France to the Danish People's Party, to the Brothers of Italy Party, nationalist, anti-globalist, anti-immigration, pseudo-socialist parties are in and small government, but globalist, anti-socialist conservative parties are toast.

The transformation of the Republican party under Trump has been incredible. So many of the old guard GOP would rather help the Dems sabotage the new GOP rather than have anything to do with coal miners from West Virginia or steel workers from West3ern Pennsylvania. Trump gave them a voice when Dems and old guard Republicans pretended they didn't exist.

Fiscal conservatism is still alive and well in East Asia though. The PAP in Singapore is conservative.

I can see why people earning less $120K/year or less are not donating to the Democrats. A senior Democratic strategist admitted his party has gone from being the party of the factory floor to the party of the faculty lounge.

It;s not just the Democrats who have turned on the working class citizens. The old guard Republican Party, and the Liberals and NDP in Canada treat people who work with their hands with disdain.

Trump saw this neglect and capitalized on it. He borrowed from European nationalist parties for sure. However, he crafted a uniquely American message. American workers finally have a voice.

I don't know how anybody can call Triump a conservative. Conservatism is so dead now.

Yeah, everything has been turned on it's head. My views have evolved too.

The Democrats are representing more than 80% of the 50 wealthiest electoral districts in the House of Reps.

Big C Conservatism is now the ideology of the American working class.  Been that way for quite a while now.

Big C and small c conservatism means something different in Canada. Big C refers to the Tory party itself. It's similar to RINO in the States. Small c conservative means real conservatism. However, that is evolving too as few politicians in Canada talk about shrinking the size of government anymore.

you know one thing that baffles me? How the moronic followers cannot sort out for themselves how billionaires would never support with their dollars and votes a party which didn't have their financial interests near and dear to their hearts

How do people actually become that stupid?

Libtards don't see the obvious. Billionaires supported the Democrats in 2016 and 2020 because Clinton and Biden promised to make them "pay their fair share."   

Do you see why I don't support universal suffrage?

I guess I mean small C then.  Kinda like how I call myself a small L libertarian to differentiate my leanings from the whackadoodle Libertarian Party.

I've just noticed that working folks have been leaning Republican for a long, long time, even though the Leftist filth still claim they're for "the middle class."

That sure explains all those Hollywood fundraisers.

You would be a small c conservative in Canada. John Kasich would be a big C conservative or a red Tory.

I think only taxpayers should vote.  You don't pay any taxes, you don't get a say.
