Because most of the benefits of the former are getting concentrated into the hands of educated and urban dwellers. So people want change, but end up stupidly sabotaging.

His reputation is utterly trashed across the whole state right now.

I don't think that holds water. In the article, these are the urban dwellers being sabotaged.
More accurately, very wealthy urban dwellers.
And most of these urban dwellers did not vote for Trump or this vindictive Governor.
brookhaven_dude isn't agreeing with what he's saying. He's just trying to explain why people are acting the way they are. He even calls their sabotage stupid.
