PHOTOGRAPHY / Trump’s Base

To be perfectly honest, I’m not a fan of Donald Trump. I do however live smack in the middle of Trump’s base, the Midwest, and I do understand the conditions that caused people to follow him. They are people who felt abandoned by government and left to fend for themselves, people who don’t want much, just a steady job and a means to stay healthy.

This photo is one I recently took. It represents the Midwest, the erosion of a stabler time, a calling for change.

I mean, it's pretty simple, isn't it? People won't vote for the candidate that calls them shitty people.

just awesome photography

I get what you are saying. Some people just want that bare minimum and looks to people who they believe can provide it for them

True, have a good day.

It's sad how people are neglected by the government and live under unfavorable conditions.
Change is what we need.🙋

We will see, that’s for stopping by.

You are welcome. 🙂

Donald Trump Touching Mike Pences Knee 27032018184800.jpg

I live in Pence’s home town and was his high school home room teacher. The town has a love hate relationship with him. I’m not fond of him myself. Here is an old Steem post about it. https://steemit.com/politics/@beginningtoend/what-hillary-and-mike-have-in-common

what conclusions should we draw because a Trump supporter's house needs a fresh coat of paint?

Only superficial ones.

Trump did tap into a group of Americans who were left behind, he actually paid some mind to those in what the progressives call "flyover states" instead of taking them for granted or as irrelevant.

I actually understand what you want to tell...Then there are a lot of people like you write about ( i mean abandoned) . They just need steady job and because they are poor and lack of money. The system makes them economically a slave so they just want steadiy money source... :/ I think all politicians are devil.

Meanwhile i like you edit in the picture my friend...

Thank you for sharing and have a nice day my friend...

Mama don’t let your babies grow up to be politicians!

All politics aside, and let's face it I'd love to keep them all aside forever, the washed out colour and subject matter of a fading front porch speaks volumes about the failing experiment of the USA.

Thanks, that’s sure what I thought.

I do not know much about political issues ...
but I like photography. I love this grade coloring event. very meaningful and pleasant composition. Congratulations to your successful shooting friend!
