lower income/working class white men vote republican and are more responsible for the tax policies that favor the wealthy.

Amen.

My take? A lot of those guys voted for Trump out of resentment he gunned up against minorities of ALL socio-economic flavors.

They believe that only THEY work hard.
Only THEY are allowed to get rich in America.

Truth be told - if the Carters had 3 kids and needed tanf and snap to get by . . .they would be just as angry.
