It's inconceivable to me that anyone could rationalize....

28. Yes, I really think it's misinformation more than racism

Racism and sexism is exxacerbated by all the misinformation, that certain people are causing your problems. Their policies makes it harder for the working class and people at the bottom, so they have to get them blaming the wrong people (immigrants, minorities, women instead of Republicans, oligarchs) for their problems.

The lack of education and therefore critical thinking plus the information bubble make them vulnerable to lies that most of us wouldn't buy.

If they understood the truth, they wouldn't be voting against their self-interest whatever racist tendencies they were taught in their community and their youth. We all want a good life. We want our stuff. You don't sacrifice your economic needs/desires to denigrate others unless you think elevating yourself is otherwise hopeless and/or you believe the lies that they are keeping you from your stuff.
