[quote=Anonymous]I think the white male Trump supporters can be largely divided into two groups (with some outliers, it's not a full 100% who fit into one of the two groups) -- those who are basically failing in our current economic system because they can't compete for jobs, and those who have had a good amount of success, are among the economically privileged, and see in Trump someone who will ultimately use the Presidency to do everything he can to maximize his own wealth, which will correlate into an increase in their own. The latter may or may not be sexist, they're just deeply selfish and think everyone else can go screw, even if it means literally dying from poverty. The former are already struggling to compete as their white male privilege lessens, and whether the acknowledge it to themselves or not, they know if they had to compete with women on an equal footing, they'd fail even more because there would simply be that many more people who are better than them. I think they subconsciously are afraid of a female POTUS because it's one more sign of their sinking privilege and how much more they'll struggle when they have to compete fully on their own merits.[/quote]
