Watching MTP daily and the guest is talking about the Trump voter who is fearful and forgotten and we have to understand them. I am so tired of that take.

(10,170 posts)The Republican talked about how the left put a dead rat on his doorstep, and said to Todd something like "you've experienced this too from the left." The Toad agreed.
He's unwatchable.

(82,849 posts)A lot of Trump voters are spoiled well-to-do people who see their privilege slipping away so that they can't fancy themselves as better than everyone else just by virtue of their wealth or possessions or white skin. A lot of Trump voters are people who think they're just a lottery ticket away from joining the first group. Although they're living on the edge, they refuse to believe that their difficulties have anything to do with the first group, which routinely pilfers the second group's earnings, benefits, or entitlements.

(4,862 posts)They were told to be afraid. Nothing to talk about. Plow ahead with policies than benefit the most people and then keep reminding them who enacted them

(34,661 posts)My take is this,it is all about their personal fear of a Brown or Black skinned person succeeding too a monetarily position in life that they could not attain. And that scares the shit out of White folks that are Republican Voters.
This has been the theme since 1964. Recall LBJ saying,we Democrats will feel this White backlash for fifty years. Sorry to say,we did.
