I would agree that it's a lot of nudge, nudge, wink, wink, underlying white supremacist ideology.

I don't even think it's a secret. They just refuse to say it overtly because of the social impact of it. A portion of people who voted, and will vote for Trump, might have a problem with them being very obviously racist/Nazis.

I don't think that's a majority, but those that now or less stay out of politics, and are just habitual Republican voters (maybe they're subscribed to the party or something? A "card carrying Republican" type thing), would see the overt racist/Nazi themes and reconsider their position instead of blindly doing what they've always done.

Instead it's about making things "great", an overly broad and obtuse term to use as a focus of your political goals. With vague and ultimately meaningless talk about what that means, without any actual hard statements.

They're avoiding any commitments to do a specific thing or achieve a specific goal, and it's all a smokescreen. Anyone paying attention knows that you can't have your cake and eat it too, which is essentially what they've promised at every turn. The horrible fuckery of the medicare system comes to mind. They were going to make it "great" and affordable..... How? Nobody knows. They didn't even know. What did they deliver? Not that. It's not great. Affordable? That is debatable. It's not just Medicare. It's everything.

They only other time I've seen this phenomenon is at work. Sales people will sometimes promise clients that a product will do everything for them. Well beyond the abilities of that product. I'm not in sales. I'm a technical support/implementation person. I have to give the end user/client the bucket of cold water to say, no, it doesn't do that, and it's not able to do that. When I approach management about it, the response is inevitably "make it work", aka, find a solution, and don't bother me about it. I tend to quit jobs that put me in that kind of a position, so it's rare that I end up in it.

What Trump, and a lot of what I've heard from his party lately, does is entirely the same. He's acting like a shady sales person, telling you everything that he thinks that you want to hear, then foisting the task of actually accomplishing any of his wild statements onto implementation people who basically tell him that his promises and statements about what we can do, or will do, cannot be achieved. They're told to "make it work" and they do their best, but it ends up making things fucking suck. I don't blame anyone except the sales person telling me that they can do something that I later find out, cannot be done.

My main problem is that, this isn't just his own business that's going to suffer and fail as a result of his insane ramblings. We're talking about the country of the United States of America which will suffer immense damage if he is allowed to continue this circus.

I don't believe anything he says.

I generally don't believe politicians. I also don't believe most sales people. As for a politician with the approximate credibility (or lack thereof), of a sales person? You do the math.
