For Trump supporters, elections a battle for his vision of America
MACON, Ga., Nov 5 (Reuters) - For many Americans, Tuesdays congressional midterm elections are a referendum on Republican President Donald Trumps divisive persona, hard-line policies and pugnacious politics.
But on the eve of the election, in a packed airport hangar in Macon, Georgia, and at other Trump rallies across the nation, the stakes are different: a vote to protect a leader they see as under siege, whose inflammatory rhetoric is a necessary price for a norm-shattering era of change.
"He is putting people back to work," said retired postal worker Barbara Peacock, 58, as she leafed through Trump 2020 re-election merchandise at his Georgia event on Sunday. "He is telling it like it is."
At rallies overflowing with red-hatted, mostly white supporters in conservative pockets of the country, Peacock and others say they hope to make Trumps ideas the dominant force in American political life for decades to come.
