    You are making the same argument that many on the left have been making. That much of Trump's base was not aggrieved middle class blue collar workers, as was being claimed. It wasn't the economy that flew over their states, it was cultural advancement. A lot of conservatives were all up in arms about the advances that homosexuals, Dreamers, feminists, the non-religous, and non White citizens were making in the US. After all, we did have an half White, half Black president, and there was the possibility of a woman being elected to the presidency. The battle cry was about preserving White privilege, preserving male dominance. Defending the Christian faith. It is a changing multicultural world that they fear and oppose(d).


    However, on the other side, White educated males are more likely to vote Democrat, whereas White uneducated men are more likely to vote Republican, regardless of wealth.

    Forest Gump let us all know, that even a moron can stumble into success and wealth. I suppose this would be doubly so if one's morals were corrupted through belief. I am sure that it is more than a coincidence that was those who deny global warming and oppose abortion make up the vast majority of Trump supporters.

    Because, as we all know, there are good people on both sides. (wink, wink)

    What a bunch of bull. Just come out with it and call us all stupid racist, it's what you are doing anyways and you could have saved some typing. Ever wonder why politics is so divisive? See most of your posts.

    Once again your claims of intellectual superiority is shot to hell, and "yuk yuk I was just joking. Don't bother me with facts. Let me be alone to make up whatever makes my argument sound reasonable. Don't bother me if it doesn't. Yuk yuk".

    What a warped insular little world you live in, sort of a child like wonderland where anything contrary but true get's ignored.

    So you persist even though I gave you my answer?
    Why you gotta troll me, you actually think I will give you a different answer if you do?

    Just about every conservative, especially the older ones will tell you that Rush Limbaugh spoke to them. Said what was on their minds. Tell me that he did not cheerlead the very things I have claimed in my post.

    If you don't want me calling you out, don't give opinions with fictional "facts".

    I actually believe that anyone with an IQ under 70, or demonstrably ignorant of civics, should be barred from voting.

    We all need to pass a basic test before the machine can tabulate our votes. Easy questions, like

    "12 + 23 = ____?"

    "The _____ is the chief executive under the federal constitution"?

    "The legal voting age in the USA is ____?"

    Of course, that's racist so it won't happen.

    I see the Wall Street Journal was ahead of me:

    Not that every leftist hates America. But the leftists I know do hate Mr. Trump’s vulgarity, his unwillingness to walk away from a fight, his bluntness, his certainty that America is exceptional, his mistrust of intellectuals, his love of simple ideas that work, and his refusal to believe that men and women are interchangeable. Worst of all, he has no ideology except getting the job done. His goals are to do the task before him, not be pushed around, and otherwise to enjoy life. In short, he is a typical American—except exaggerated, because he has no constraints to cramp his style except the ones he himself invents.

    https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.wsj.com/amp/articles/the-real-reason-they-hate-trump-1540148467

    On edit, I believe that many Americans will feel that the media, the Democrats and the movie stars who are blaming Trump for the pandemic will feel sympathy for Trump because it's a cheap shot to blame him for the virus (while claiming that they do not), and unreasonable to expect as much of any one man as Democrats are expecting of Trump.

    Preserving white privilege how? What policy prescription other than border control exemplifies this?

    Preserving male dominance in what field? In what sense? Reparlimg what legislation that equalized women? Trump voters were largely supportive of Sarah Palin in 2008. Trump made Nikki Haley an ambassador.

    Pretty sure there were other women in his cabinet. You think he's against his daughter's advancement??
