It’s the message.
When I hear him speak, saying the same stuff we do, I actually have hope that maybe someone really does care enough to try and turn it all around and make things right.
After so many years of hearing how we need to be ashamed of ourselves and our country, how we’re racist if we don’t like what’s happening and all of it he comes along and seems to feel like we do.
He listens to us and talks to us.
He never talks down to us.
He says he wants the same things we do.
We no longer feel belittled and marginalized or mocked for what we believe in.
Yeah, I’m hooked, because after the last seven years of daily and sometimes multiple slaps in the face of Americans, the things he’s saying about fixing it never get old.
I love how Trump says we’re going to win so much that we’ll get tired of winning. It’s so over-the-top, hyper optimism. But it’s refreshing to hear, just because, as you so aptly described, we’ve been hearing nothing but negativity from our supposed ‘betters’.
And I enjoy how Trump says not “I’m going to win”, but instead, “We’re going to win”.
Reminds me of Reagan, about whom I once heard it said that a good leader makes his followers believe in him, whereas a great leader (namely Reagan) makes his followers believe in themselves.
Trump is doing the exact same thing.
