“People who work really hard every day and get up in the morning and go to work for their families,” Palota said. “Those are the people that are the backbone of our country. The Democratic Party pushes them down and treats them like they're nothing; they're zero.”
The Trump supporter expressed frustration over the unwillingness to communicate, which is what he claimed to have experienced from people who disagree with him politically. Palota added that he wished he could just sit down for coffee with someone on the Left and have a conversation, saying, “Because we’re all human beings, you know?”
