The Real Reason Trump Supporters Hate Liberals
We betray the straight white patriarchy
When I asked my neighbor to take a picture of the Trump 2020 flag he hung proudly inside his garage, just past his big pick-up truck and four-wheeler painted in camo, he proudly agreed.
Obviously, he seemed to think I was one of his people. After all, I am a white male living in a stable marriage in one of the three counties in the country most responsible for electing Trump. I was taking my blonde-haired grandson out for a morning walk.
But he likely is not a reader of my posts. Nor has he seen my vehicle, a hybrid with a Coexist bumper sticker and another sticker for the university where I teach. Had he been aware of these facts, I would have likely received a very different reaction — because then, he would have known I was the enemy.
It’s hard to fathom, but it’s true. To many Conservatives, particularly of the ilk who are Trump’s most die-hard supporters, I am a greater enemy than Vladimir Putin or Kim Jong Un. My neighbor may be the prototypical Trump supporter, but by virtue of my education and profession, I am one of those elite Liberals he hates so…
