Its time to bust the myth: Most Trump voters were not working class.

There’s just one problem: this account is wrong. Trump voters were not mostly working-class people.

During the primaries, Trump supporters were mostly affluent people.

The misrepresentation of Trump’s working-class support began in the primaries. In a widely read March 2016 piece, the writer Thomas Frank, for instance, argued at length that “working-class white people … make up the bulk of Trump’s fan base.” Many journalists found colorful examples of working-class Trump supporters at early campaign rallies. But were those anecdotes an accurate representation of the emerging Trump coalition?

"Susan Sarandon compares Debra Messing to President Trump"

snip//

The two actresses have been battling on Twitter since March 2016 when Sarandon said she wasn’t “convinced” that she should vote for Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump.

She’s not very well informed and so sometimes she gets in areas that she really hasn’t thought through, maybe? She’s Trumpian a little bit like that,” Sarandon told Cohen.

“So, I don’t have anything against her personally. I just sometimes I have to say, ‘But you don’t have the information.’”
