It Was Cultural Anxiety That Drove White, Working-Class Voters to Trump

[Hortensis]

6. Financially troubled whites more likely to prefer CLINTON!

That's the only real surprise here for me. That white working people tended to realize Clinton would be better for them economically flies against millions of words of anti-Democrat, anti-Hillary commentary.

As for the cultural anxiety--you bet! That's huge.

But also huge is the enormous advantage that right-wing negative fear messages fanning that cultural anxiety have over positive liberal messages of aspiration and commonality. Fear and resentment are far more powerful motivators than hope and generosity. That survival instinct thing.
