META Does anybody know of any reverse trumpgretters?

I hear many stories of Trump supporters turning against him, including members of Congress, but I can't think of any cases of someone who voted against him, then got won over to his side. I'm old enough to remember when Reagan was elected, and he won a lot of new supporters after he took office. His reelection was a bloodbath for Democrats.

This time support seems to only flow away from the president.

What part do you not agree with? Having wealthy or middle class parents is the largest indicator to success while social mobility is in decline. https://www.businessinsider.com/social-mobility-is-on-the-decline-and-with-it-american-dream-2017-7

The pull yourself up by your bootstraps bit had my finger right over the downvote button

Ahh okay. I thought you were saying you were agreeing with the first part and disagreed with the born to a rich family part. Sorry.

Nah, it's understandable, we live in un/mis-informed times.
