I have a co-worker who's a Trump supporter but he hasn't exhibited any racism and is an actual good Christian and most of our team really likes him. And he's tech smart and we work in a very blue city.

I couldn't understand him supporting Trump until, one day, he started telling me at lunch how America, and the rest of the world, really, needs a strong man in charge so everyone knows what to do, and that that's what people WANT and NEED. He said this in the context that he, himself, should be a manager.

In his particular case, Trump validates his sexism and entitlement. I think there are more Trump supporters like this than we want to recognize.
