(7,299 posts)the electorate that couldn't be bothered to vote. But there are many strains of Chump voters;
1 - The fundies that look the other way because the Supreme Court and Judiciary hang in the balance. These folks would embrace Hades if they thought that it would get them closer to imposing their faux religious beliefs on America.
2 - The truly racist, misogynistic and homophobic who see Chump as their champion. A reset that they can support. The unbelievably foolish who think that they can turn the clock back to the 1950's.
3 - The economically anxious. These folks knew for two decades that a high school education alone would not bode well for their economic futures. Rather than look in the mirror to find the real culprit, they blame women, minorities and immigrants for their plight. If it wasn't for them, these uneducated white folk would be making six figures. Chump tapped into these people very skillfully. They chose to believe a guy who manufactures his clothes line in foreign countries and staffs his Florida resorts with foreign visa workers. While they wait for BIG COAL to come back.
