They are anti-Democrats. Some Trump voters are the same, but many simply want to vote for a disruptor, because they would rather have chaos than live with their feelings of stagnation, alienation, and the current system simply not working for them. It doesn't matter if these feeling are "real" or "imagined". You can't move these people with rational argument from within the current system. They're not anti-Democrats, they're anti-system, and they believe Trump is too. I don't know how to address this gap, but professional politicians should. I do know that repeating Trumps insanities, racism and misogyny aren't going to make much difference, as satisfying as it might be. <p>Home Office on dependants : “The minimum income requirement ensures that families are self-sufficient instead of relying on public funds, with the ability to integrate if they are to play a full part in British life.”</p> <p>The implication here is that poor people cannot play a full part in British life, and in some sense aren&#39;t worth having.
