[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Trump was put over the top by fed up people in, among other places, PA, MI, and WI. It might be a good idea to learn about their experiences, especially like their decades-long descent into very unpleasant circumstances. Trump offered them both a roll of the dice on something different and a chance to give the middle finger to those who prospered and were [b]indifferent[/b] to their suffering. None of this assures he can help them, but that's where it's at.[/quote]

Oh please. In Trumpland, indifference = expanding health care, tax cuts, affordable college, increased minimum wage....face it, only a low information voter could set out looking for economic policies supporting the working and middle class and say, "yeah, GOP, that's the ticket!"

And let's not forget, the working class actually voted for Clinton. It's only the white working class that seems to have a peculiar, race-based "economic anxiety."

And I'm not saying Trump voters don't feel this way - they all seem very convinced their resentment is purely economic and not at all race-based - but as with most things Trump-voter-related, it is inconsistent with reality. [/quote]
