    The sad reality is that most of the people who make up Trump’s base will suffer massively, yet willingly if it means hurting the people they don’t like.

    And the people they don’t like are largely media constructs, strawmen made of racial stereotypes and legions of “wellfare queens” who they’ve been led to believe are robbing them blind. They literally have made an emotional connection between food assistance, medical healthcare, trans people, illegal aliens and the rising cost of groceries.

    Red states are going to suffer the most right now and many, many people are going to die, many of them will have been Trump supporters.
