Why do people vote for Trump?

He's pig-headed, he's a misogynist, he's an opportunist, he's insane: these are all frequent terms used to describe the man. I know what you're thinking and before you say anything, let me say that I don't advocate for Trump; nor do I think that you should vote for him; nor am I voting for him but I would like to explore what makes someone vote for Trump.

So Hillary, Trump and every other political baddy ever, have been compared to Hitler. First of all, that's got to stop because none of said politicians have ever murdered 6 million people. It's the same reason we can't accuse them or Bernie of being Stalin, because even though Hitler is the better known villain, Stalin killed 10 million over a few more years. The point is that both of these guys are astronomical baddies. Comparisons being made to them are unfair and untrue so that's got to stop. So if neither one is really a super villain, why hate them?

Well, Hillary is a Clinton, and Clintons are an honorable house. We went through the Bushes and showed with Jeb Bush getting pushed out of the election, that we are tired of dynasty in this country but Hillary is an honorable family woman and deserves your vote. The other thing is that noticeable change did not come to the masses in their time of need during the last 8 years but the Democrats are an honorable party. My father quoted off to me earlier that now a tiny percent of the population owns half of THE WORLD'S wealth! That's unimaginable.

We have been through the ringer with Bill Clinton lying and now his wife is up after she got caught deleting emails, wrapped up in Benghazi with our soldiers lives lost and people tend to die of mysterious circumstance often when they oppose her but she is an honorable woman so we have to take her word that she's innocent and things just happen. This does not bode well for her especially for an uneducated (a large portion of the United States) populous.

I'm not here to honor Trump, but to understand why people vote for him. If she says he's pig-headed than he must be for she is an honorable woman.

People in this country want change and they want drastic change and here's where history does have similarities to past events. The people of Germany were so beat up after WWI and blamed for that war that their situation became dire. Desperate people act on instinct and vote for anyone who offers change and resolve to their problems even if that means insane ideas that put people in awkward moral dilemmas. Hillary is a diplomat and a politician. She offers long term plans, more spending and no quick solutions to any problems.

As I said, I do not support Trump and if I had my way, state self governance would be a thing again because America is too large and with too much diverse need to have as powerful of a central government that we have. However, the question that I try to answer is not what i believe or what anyone believes, but why do people vote Trump despite the media backlash: Because he offers them quick change.

People think that since he's a business man, he will know how to run the country like a business (even though he's not a particularly good businessman which is why I won't vote for him). People need hope right now, not politicians and even though Hillary may be the better option, people will vote for the candidate that gives them hope!

It won't matter in the end though. The popular vote doesn't count and Hillary is a ruthless murderer who will do anything, and I mean anything, to get her way, so this election at the poles, I'm going to vote third party and no one in the world can make me feel guilty about that because I will at least sleep better knowing that I didn't cast my vote for either one of these showboating aristocrats...
