I have to admit that when I see a pick up truck with a white guy driving, I get a visceral reaction. However, my brother who is 64 was a truck driver all his life, fishes (doesn't hunt), wears Carhartt clothes, etc. and he has never voted in his life - EVER. He never thought it made any difference in his life, but for the first time in his life he has registered and voted for Hillary. Completely made me rethink my own stereotyping of men because I know him to be a very kind, decent, caring person.
