Trump supporters would be most likely to turn on Trump if... [View all]

A) he continues to align with Wall Street and establishment types (no draining of the swamp)

B) he leads an effort to privatize Social Security, Medicare, public education, etc.

C) he doesn't destroy ISIS

D) he doesn't bring back millions of jobs that have been outsourced (and attempts to reduce the minimum wage to boot)

E) he doesn't withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal

F) he doesn't withdraw from the Paris Agreement

G) he does a 180 on civil rights and pisses off hate groups like the KKK (no mass deportations, no Muslim registry, full support of LGBTQ rights, full support of Black Lives Matter, etc.)

Which of the above would piss off the most Trump supporters?

Many on DU seem to think A and D are the top 2 answers. Garrett78 Dec 2016 #13

The point isn't that his supporters are all wearing white sheets. Garrett78 Dec 2016 #14

Doing one-eighties is kind of Trump's brand. Orsino Dec 2016 #12

I can't see him doing a 180 on those "G" positions - he's more likely to simply not take action, if JudyM Dec 2016 #15

The cool thing is that he can do any number of verbal one-eighties. Orsino Dec 2016 #18

Trump can't afford to do a 180 on 'G'. Garrett78 Dec 2016 #20

Ain't gonna happen. They didn't turn on Bush or any other Republican politician. procon Dec 2016 #27

'G' is a deal breaker. The rest would be ignored or blamed on evil liberals. Garrett78 Dec 2016 #28

I'm not talking about trying to divide them. That'd be a fool's errand. Garrett78 Dec 2016 #42

I think short of raising taxes, nothing would piss them off. dionysus Dec 2016 #44

B and D, because they will be affected personally, okasha Dec 2016 #45
