Why do uneducated white women support Trump?

[Anonymous]

I don’t think these women realize how bad they f@cked themselves. In a few years it may dawn on them or they may never make a connection.

Case study: our niece in a red state, college dropout, dated a local country meth addict who died in prison, but not before she had two of his kids out of wedlock. She works as a teacher’s aid. She is obese and diabetic.

She refused to vaccinate and ended up hospitalized with Covid and being put on oxygen. But after that she continued to bad mouth vaccines.

She received government assistance as a single mother, but she and her family complain about lazy people on government handouts.

She voted for Trump not because she wants to do better for herself, but to take away the benefits from other poor f@cks - the illegals.

That and Jesus. She hopes Trump brings Jesus back into schools and government because everything is going downhill due to Jesus missing.

Being Christian makes her feel a little bit better than others, righteous.

This. And they don’t have much earning power on their own. Many of them are dependent on their men and thus defer to them.

I've seen this. Raise your daughters and your sons to earn their own paychecks.

She sound harmless. You should focus on the corrupt men in your party that failed at their jobs, not some poor women who needed help.

I own a social media agency, and a couple years back I was researching some brands for market research for a client, a couple of which were parenting brands. While I was digging around, I found they had ties to extreme right wing organizations. And they market to parents, especially moms, by instilling fear that bad things will happen to their kids.

So they start with fairly benign parenting things, but over time get sucked in and next thing you know, there are books bans and everyone is homeschooling because schools are “indoctrination”. Moms go extreme far right because of the anxiety over their children. There’s a reason Trump focuses on trans - convince everyone their kids are going to be brainwashed into mutilating their genitals, and you’re gold.

It was pretty shocking for me to see this. The far right has gotten EXTREMELY good at marketing. There are several pipelines in place, including parenting, health/nutrition (why do you think so many of them sell supplements and Andrew Huberman is on the right wing podcast circuit?), crypto, dating/marriage, holistic/natural, etc. Many of which are female-focused.

And Fox News is one of the most brilliant marketers out there. Even the colors and sound effects they use are designed to put people into a state of fight or flight so they purchase from ads.

And there’s no left wing parenting pipeline?

Given how many parents are allowing their children to choose their gender, I would say their most clearly is.

See, this is the rhetoric the alt right uses to suck parents in.

Books are dangerous, schools are propaganda, vaccines cause autism, kids who go to daycare are traumatized, middle school girls are becoming boys, grown men will go into bathrooms and defile your girls.

When the data shows a completely different story. For example, about 1.4% of kids in the US identify as trans - which is actually on the lower end of the global range of 1.2-2.2%.

But making moms anxious about their kids is a great way to suck them in.

However I am hopeful. I was raised in an alt right evangelical family and it made all my siblings go far left. Love my family of origin but we all realize how insane they all are.

Sad that your social studies degree didn’t teach you how to properly interpret confidence interval.

the better question is "why do overschooled but undereducated women support Harris?"

You are mocking your cousin but she is right in a way. There is evidence that illegal workers in this country depress wages of working class jobs.

But go ahead, continue to mock people without college degrees as uneducated fools, that strategy is really working out well for the Democratic coastal elites.

Uneducated doesn’t mean stupid, it means they didn’t have the financial resources to attend college, or they didn’t want to go to college. Lots and lots of very smart people don’t have a college degree.

You are either going to continue to judge and disparage these people, or connect with them and earn their vote. Your choice.

Anyone under the age of 50 had options for college if they were smart. Yes it might be a couple years of cc, and then on to state college, but Pell grants etc make it viable for most people. Why would they not want to go to college?

Be careful dear. Your privilege is showing.

IKR? They could be aligned with a twit like you and they somehow don't appreciate that?

White women in general weren't going to let a black woman get ahead of them in line. No need to mock just the " uneducated " OP.

Especially those who voted for Harris and Walz.

They voted for Harris hoping for student loan forgiveness.

Economic insecurity. Usually married, stay at home wives, dependent on their white husbands’ who stand to benefit from Trump policies. It’s quite simple.

The data shows otherwise. Keep alienating white women with this kind of BS and see how far it gets you.

This. Unfortunately, they don’t realize that tariffs on imported goods (like those made in China) are going to increase prices.

It's obvious from most of the posts that the liberal bubbleheads were blissfully drinking the joy-flavored Kool Aid while Trump was racking up the votes. Even now, they're still in denial and are clinging to their elitist view of the world - we know what's best for the poor and uneducated. Talk to Bernie and he'll tell you why uneducated white women, and others, voted for Trump.

Good luck in 2028 but if y'all keep calling half the voters deplorables, garbage and Nazis, I am almost certain that JD "couch-lover" Vance will be POTUS #48.
