All my employees are Trump supporters and Trump got 75% of the vote in my county. They want the 70s-80s economy back, but they don't want to support unions. They think they deserve to receive government benefits. But others are moochers, and they don't deserve it. They think Trump is deporting criminal / drug cartel illegal immigrants. My state is red (State houses & governor have been conservatives for the last 30 years). Yet they blame all the issues on democrates. When my state signed the carry law, they thought Biden was the one who signed the law. If you are in the deep trump territory, listen to conservative/religious radio stations. You will know how much hate they are spreading against liberal, trans, gays, and immigrants. |

You have to distinguish between the rhetoric being spread to hijack the economic woes and the actual root of the problem. All that stuff is designed to give people an outlet for their very real economic frustrations. It's not deep seated (yet), it's a tool to exploit them. The only reason why it's working is because these people have been ignored for too long by the establishment in both parties, and it's not too late to respond and adapt.
