"We're voting with our middle finger."-John Baldwin, used car salesman, Trump supporter, Greenville, SC.
......................................
To put it in blunt terms, for many people, [Trump is] the only middle finger available — to brandish against the people who’ve assumed they have the whip hand in American culture.
This may not be a very good reason to vote for a president, and it doesn’t excuse Trump’s abysmal conduct and maladministration.
If Trump wins, though, this cultural element will be the subtext, and maybe just the text — he’d be, even more so than now, the president as affront, and he would be felt as such by all the woke progressives and fellow travelers who are accustomed to believing that they represent a steamroller of history.

Reymundo Torres is an Arizonian, a devout Roman Catholic, ethnically Mexican and a staunch supporter of this president.
"The thing that initially attracted me and keeps me tied to him is that he has taught Republicans how to not just win, but no longer throw our faces and bodies in front of every punch that the left is willing to throw," Torres said.
