A Trump Supporter

Reporting from the conservative gathering at CPAC, Michelle Goldberg noticed that none of the speakers even mentioned Trump:
That’s partly because many people in the conservative grassroots love him. Susan Najvar, a grandmother from southern Texas and a fan of Phyllis Schlafly’s Eagle Forum, used to support Cruz, but says she was disappointed in 2014, when he joined Glenn Beck in bringing clothes and toys to migrant children at the Mexican border. “We said, ‘That’s it,’ ” she told me. Now she’s a passionate Trump backer. “Where we live, those people down there are so fed up, they don’t know what do,” she says. She describes her community being transformed by immigration: “We go into Wal-Mart and they’re speaking Spanish. And we turn around, my husband and I, and say, ‘We’re in China!’ ”
That wimp Cruz, handing out toys to criminals.

Whenever I hear about these sorts of self-entitled xenophobic white Americans freaking out about shifts in ethnicity and culture, I always mentally picture the collective population of the Native American peoples shaking their heads in utter contempt and disgust.
