Talking to more people about who Trump voters are and why
they are voting for him, I was introduced to another reason that I did not know
about.
It appears there is a group of Trump voters that are voting
for Trump for the express purpose of “blowing” the government up. By “blowing”
I do not mean literally but to “dramatically” alter the government as we know
it because the government in its present state is just not functioning in our
best interest.
I will agree that the Tea Party Republican Caucus has
rendered the Republican Party totally impotent but strong enough to block any
attempts at governance by the Democrats thereby making Congress a worthless
institution.
The rest of the government appears to be working as usual so
when they say they want to blow the government up I assume they are talking
about Congress.
I don’t readily see why electing Trump would somehow “fix”
the do-nothing Congress. Obama has tried his darnedest to get things done or
move things along so it seems a president does not seem like someone that can
make Congress function so am I missing something?
Now if Trump gets elected Congress will have to wake up to protect
the country from whatever Trump dreams up to do.
If this group of Trump voters thinks Trump, as a nominal
Republican, will make the Republicans in Congress do his bidding, well they are
mistaken. Trump is not a Republican and does not think or act like a Republican
so why would real Republicans in Congress follow his lead.
Republicans have been known to be hypocrites so maybe just
being in power could persuade them to join Trump. This I do not know but maybe
this group we are talking about is counting on that happening.
The normal way to handle our current do-nothing Congress is
to get rid of all those Tea Party Republicans that were elected as a protest
move that backfired badly and some states are actually doing that already.
Once you get “true” Republicans into Congress, business may
actually get re-started but maybe people are just totally dissatisfied with
politics as well as the whole political system and prefer to blow things up and
start from scratch.
I agree with that sentiment; is Trump the grenade they are
throwing in?
