2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumMainstream Media Won't Genuinely Discuss The Trump Voter.
There has been very little examination of them.
Just vague generalities like that they are angry at the status quo.
But, not much on why?
And, very little personality profiling.
Here's what is without question demographically:
They are more white
They are older
They are more male
They are less educated
But, some psych profiling would also find that they are more:
Racist
Sexist
Xenophobic
Homophobic
(You only occasionally hear a pundit skirt around this profile, but few will really touch it).
The only real exception to those things mentioned above:
The 100% Republican only voter who would never vote for any Democrat. (E.g.: abortion issue only voter, or the super rich don't ever raise my taxes voter).
These are the only Trump voters that I can have any sense of legitimate semi respect for.
At least they are honest about what is most important to them.
The rest are pure scum of the earth and embarrass me that they are Americans.

They go to Trumps rallies.
They know who these people are.

(2,056 posts)EVERYONE should watch that movie. I bought it from iTunes last night ($4.99) in the TV section listed as a TV special. It's really good and if you have a Trump or third party voting friend or family member it could really change some minds. All young people really should watch it.

(456 posts)I personnel dislike itunes and had previous issues with them, so I won't support them. I'm not stopping anyne else from supporting them, but I won't. I would like to watch this movie legally, but if no other distributors are available, I'll just wait.
