This article nails every point. It seems that we have some apologists on DU that every post that mentions Trump voters devolves into a "but I'm not that kind of white guy" and "we need to reach out because the Trump voters I know aren't like this"

While there are exceptions to Every rule, most rural Trump voters are exactly as described in this article. I live In a community where minorities are described as colored and Obama was the Antichrist. They literally taught that in a local church. They won't listen to facts, especially if it impacts their belief system.

We Democrats need to focus on policies that help all working peoples while putting forth candidates that fire up more than our white base. We will come out on top but only if we look to the future. Trump voters are the past.
