I finally pinpointed what it is exactly that I resent the most about Trump voters

4. We changed from an industrial based economy

to an information based economy (plus more service jobs).

In the industrial based economy, if you were average or below average intelligence, you could still be "successful" and live a middle class life... send your kids to college without putting them in $100K of student debt, etc.

In the information and service based economy, those higher paying manufacturing jobs went away (mostly to automation, but also shipped overseas). The service industry doesn't pay enough to not shop walmart...

So the less intelligent of us resent the more intelligent... and thus the Red State rural split with the Blue State urban dweller.

And they are lashing out right now... well for the last 18 years (since the election of Bush 2).

They are currently expunging the ranks of the Trump party of any and all "moderate" and "intellectual" republicans (folks like George Will, etc).
