“As I see it, a lot of Ron Paul “supporters” are actually Obama supporters trying to sew seeds of diversion and division.”
You see it wrong.
It’s more like a lot of Obama supporters were just Independent swing voters and first time Millennial voters who opposed the Iraq War. Those people at the center of the electorate have turned more strongly against him than any of the other White subdemographics.
They are not hippies and nutjobs or liberals who show up at OWS with purple hair to beat drums in Atlanta. Just people who thought that Iraq was a disastrous clusterfuck and who resent having to pay for it.
