31. agree, this guy Sayoc fits the demographic of the undereducated lot

My inlaws chose to retire near the Ozarks where there's plenty of this type of people - predominantly WASPs. Many there have inherited their homes/land from their ancestors who've lived there for over 100 years and come from an agrarian background, or work in a plant or factory in town. They fear change, and in seeing their way of life dying out, lash back at the government and "liberals" (the word has a bad connotation in their limited view of course) for their plight. The way they see it, it's not them that's the problem, it's everyone else's, and that someone's got to pay for it.

The even sadder thing is i have well-educated WASP work colleagues who think trump is their savior. All that learning didn't teach them a damn thing about seeing diversity as a good thing. They raged when Obama was elected and reelected. They've been gloating since the DOTUS stole the election and continues on his rampage of wreaking havoc on our democracy, and they're fighting hard to keep the lunacy in place. White privilege is alive and well in this day and age.
