Trump support, kind of like Sanders support, is linked to a feeling that Washington insiders have screwed people over for a long time. Support for Trump, however, can be fueled more by distrust of the media, academia, internet titans, Hollywood, international alliances, and world leaders. They feel there is a giant globalist network of elitists virtue signalers who are trying to get Clinton into office. Support for Clinton and Sanders comes more from distrust of older Americans, the criminal justice system, police, billionaires and corporations, and Evangelical Christians. They believe American society is at the whim of institutional racism, corporatocracy, and Religious influence.
In a country where shows like ''Ancient Aliens'' and ''Storage Wars'' get high ratings...do you honestly think that Trump voters put that much thought into it? Just lol...apparently Trump voters are now intellectual savants of philosophy, economics, and sociology.
While I have no doubt that the American system is one big joke and con job rigged to screw over average workers...the idea that Joe the Trump voter from the holler put as much though into it as your post suggest is laughable. The average Trump voter puts more thought into what frozen dinner he's going to re-heat for dinner or who he's gonna vote for American idol than who he voted for in 2016. Most walked into the voting booth, scratched their ass and let out a fart, and mindlessly voted for Trump.
