I had a friend that went from voting for Sanders in the 2016 primary to Trump in the general. I will never understand it. I tried for awhile. We’re no longer friends.
They are both considered populists but with radically different policies targeting different “enemies of the people.” It just so happens that one side thinks the enemy is anyone who is not a white straight Christian male.
Some people don’t actually care what the policies are, they just want someone to blame and follow whoever they think is fighting for them. It’s nuts but large number of American’s don’t do any basic political research and vote by gut feeling.
