So why do you think that is? I’m not being snarky, I really want to know.
I have a guess, maybe close to correct, maybe not; Obama, a Democrat, took office at the most frightening part of the 2008 collapse. The entirety-plus of the recovery for the first four years or so went to the speculator class. The rest of his time in office sprinkled the gains in GDP to the same and some in the top 10%. None of the working class, or the middle class saw any gain and most saw losses in this period. I think a lot of people who had voted Democrat previously didn’t want to double down on another similar Democrat administration in the White House. They got the joker in the deck, but maybe they thought…sometimes the joker completes a winning hand.
And no, I didn’t vote for Trump, nor am I a Trump supporter.
