(51,228 posts)This is a long standing debate that has been going on here for a long time, and I don't think you and I are going to resolve it, but I am one of those people who thinks that, regardless of the excuses they give, Trump voters voted for Trump mostly because they want to put those uppity brown people and those uppity wimmins back in their boxes.
Everyone who voted for Trump knew for a fact that he is a racist and a sexist. Most of those other reasons you give that they give are covers. As you say, they know the jobs aren't coming back. They have no problem with Republicans using private email servers. There has been no outcry as Trump has filled his administration with mega-corporations. None of those reasons is real.
What Trump appealed to is racism and sexism. Those other issues have been proven by the voters apathy toward them since the election as covers for them to express their racism and sexism. Even if voters were sincere about those issues at one point, Trump's raging racism and sexism had to have been acceptable to them in order for them to vote for him.
My eyes and ears tell me that most ARE racist. They prove it to me over and over every day.
