The trailer park sewers of America.  Unskilled welfare white trash sucking 
from the government tit, all while proclaiming themselves capitalists.   
They'd fare better in a 3rd world shit hole than in a 1st world advanced 
democracy.

Like immigrants, they are dragging this country down with them.

The single best predictor of Trump support in the GOP primary is the 
absence of a college degree. In an analysis of Trump's blowout win in New 
Hampshire, Evan Soltas determined that the factor explaining most of the 
variance in Trump's support in New Hampshire was education.

“For every 1 percentage point more college graduates over the age of 25, 
Donald Trump's share of votes falls by 0.65 percentage points,” he said.

Diplomas are what Ron Brownstein calls the “new Republican fault line.” In 
2012, Mitt Romney struggled for months to consolidate support because, 
even as he had clear support among college-educated Republicans, he fared 
worse among non-college voters.

Although white men without a college education haven’t suffered the same 
historical discrimination as blacks or women, their suffering is not 
imagined. The Hamilton Project has found that the full-time, full-year 
employment rate of men without a bachelor's degree fell from 76 percent in 
1990 to 68 percent in 2013. While real wages have grown for men and women 
with a four-year degree or better in the last 25 years, they've fallen 
meaningfully for non-college men.

Non-college men have been trampled by globalization, the dissolution of 
manufacturing employment, and other factors, for the last few decades. In 
places like West Virginia, the mortality rate for middle-aged white men 
has grown since 1980, despite the fact that US GDP per capita has 
quadrupled in that time. The causes are mysterious, but one outcome could 
be deep anger and political extremism manifested in Trump.



Trump’s foreign policy, like his policy for anything, is a muddle. He’s 
cautious toward the Israel-Palestine conflict, yet he told Fox News he 
would kill the families of ISIS members to stop their advance, something 
awfully close to a public pledge to commit war-crimes.

But it’s his domestic security policies that have been astonishingly 
hawkish. He’s promised to shut down mosques, keep a database of Muslims, 
and round up the children of illegal immigrants. Indeed, when you put it 
together, Trump’s hysterical promises to protect his white in-group from 
non-white outsiders looks like race-baiting...

They Live in Parts of the Country With Racial Resentment

Find a map of the United States and draw a thick red mark just east of the 
Mississippi and Ohio Rivers. That's Trump Country.

Although Trump appears to run equally well among moderates and 
conservatives in polls, Soltas found that, in New Hampshire, he dominated 
in more moderate counties. “For every 1 percentage point more liberal the 
precinct, Donald Trump's share of votes rises by 0.48 percentage points,” 
Soltas found.

According to the New York Times’ Nate Cohn, who used data from Civis 
Analytics, Trump’s support is strongest from the Gulf Coast, through the 
Appalachian Mountains, to New York, among marginally attached Republicans 
(possibly former Democrats). It is a familiar map for some demographers, 
since it’s similar to a heat map of Google searches for racial slurs and 
jokes.
