But people can identify with a person of mixed race whose father deserted him as an infant, whose mother took him to a foreign country where he was raised a Muslim for several years and then dumped him back on his American grandparents who sent him to elite private schools in Hawaii and transferred from a non elite college to elite colleges, ending up in Chicago hanging out with known Communists and terrorists to become a community organizer?
Identification is a stupid way to make choices. I have a background, family, and had an upbringing very similar to Zero - and I do feel sympathy for the miserable, confused childhood he must have had - that doesn’t make me want to vote for him. I don’t vote for someone because they are like me, I vote for someone who will be an effective leader in pursuing policies that will be good for the country.
