I am a white non-college male, I do not support Trump, however I just learned this.

68. I am a rural retired Texan too.

I am nowhere near Austin. I am a long way from any real stores (Target) or any UUs!

My high school was mostly blue collar refinery workers' kids. They used to have strong unions and were Democrats, but that is all gone. They kicked me out of a FB group after I told them they were supporting a tyrant with dementia. I reminded them that the original antifascists were OUR DADDIES. ALL of them were drafted to fight Hitler. I only communicate with a couple of my girlfriends from high school that agree with me.

When I was in high school, I did not have dates. My studious girlfriends didn't have dates either. That's the way it was. I knew there was another world out there after high school called college. I loved school and my folks insisted on sending me to college. At least I didn't have any brothers for my parents to favor instead, but my grandmother acted like my one male cousin, who is your average farm boy, raised in the metropolis of Centerville (!!!)/sarcasm was gonna go to A&M and be a doctor or something. He flunked out real quickly, while my sister and I both went to college. I went to grad school as well. Earned 3 degrees.

Such a toxic mix of hate with many angles. Sexism, racism, hating everybody who isn't a rich white male(and I include the women who are trumpers). That doesn't fly any more in the larger society. Then they act shocked when they are socially rejected.
