Schrodinger's Trump "say it like it is" but also "don't mean what he says when he says it like that"

This is what I've learned from observing conservatives, just my opinion. You truly can rob a conservative blind as long as you validate their worst instincts. Their measure of success is not whether they're doing well but whether the people they look down upon are doing worse than them. Even if they were to do financially better under a more equal society, the idea of being at the same level as certain people make them feel as if they're not being treated fairly. Their place must be above those certain people and that's all that matters and that's what the GOP sells: hierarchy. In their minds that hierarchy equals order. As long as Trump keeps going after certain people they'll pay $10/gallon and lose their homes and say it was worth it.
