WHAT THE US VOTERS WANT?

...

What do Trump supporters believe:

1. Life is worse than it was 50 years ago, for people like them.

2. Ethnic and racial diversity is a bad thing, for Whites.

3. The government's anti-terrorism policies need to be much stricter.

4. Government regulation of business is not necessary.

So let's think back to the 1960's, to a world loved by Trump supporters.

1. In 1960, one in four Americans fell below the poverty line (an annual income of less than $3,000).

2. On 1 February 1960, four black men sat at a whites-only lunch counter at a Woolworth's in Greensboro, N.C., and were denied service.

3. The Phoenix Programme began. US forces tortured and murdered Vietnamese 'terrorists', who were usually innocent civilians. 

Richard Nixon eventually became president, having promised peace. 

He then bombed Cambodia and Laos. The Vietnam War did not end until 1975.

4. In the 1960's, factory jobs began to disappear and the USA moved to an economy dominated by service and white-collar work.

(Robots are likely to be performing 45% of manufacturing tasks by 2025, versus just 10% today, according to a study by Bank of America.)

Trump, the actor.

Most voters in the USA want peace and prosperity.

In the 1964 presidential election campaign in the USA, the Republican candidate Barry Goldwater suggested that nuclear weapons should be treated more like conventional weapons and used in Vietnam.

Goldwater was like Trump.

Lyndon Johnson beat Goldwater.

Hillary Clinton is like Johnson.

Johnson brought in some useful reforms, but can be judged a failure because, like Goldwater, he took a tough line on Vietnam.

Barry Goldwater, who was of Jewish origin, has been compared to Donald Trump.

Barry Goldwater was the Republican Party's nominee for the Presidency in the November 1964 election.

There is a suspicion that the Powers-That-Be wanted Lyndon Johnson to win and thus selected Goldwater to play the part of the loser.

In a May 1964 speech, Goldwater said that nuclear weapons should be used in Vietnam, and in Europe and in Cuba.

Goldwater was supported by the Ku Klux Klan.

Goldwater lost the1964 election to incumbent Democrat Lyndon B. Johnson by one of the largest landslides in history.

Goldwater only won his home state of Arizona and five states in the Deep South.

Goldwater received 38.4% of the popular vote.

It turned out that Goldwater was in favour of gay rights and in favour of abortion.

It turned out that Goldwater did not like Christians getting involved in politics.

Goldwater endorsed Democrat Karan English in an Arizona congressional race.

Goldwater urged Republicans to lay off Bill Clinton over the Whitewater scandal.

In a 1988 interview on Larry King's radio show, Goldwater was asked if he thought the U.S. Government was withholding UFO evidence; he replied "Yes, I do."
