Fear of Islam, immigrants and diversity are leading indicators of Donald Trump support

[Indeependent]

Been saying this for months. Now there is some polling data to support the premise

That headline may be self-evident these days, but at least we have some pretty solid data to back it up.

According to a new Pew Research study, if you look just at Republican voters who think the growing number of newcomers in the United States “threatens traditional American customs and values,” more than twice as many have "warm feelings toward Donald Trump" as have cold ones. Among those who say immigrants strengthen U.S. society, it's about 2-to-1 in the other direction.

Fear of Islam, immigrants and diversity are leading indicators of Donald Trump support

Support for Trump is based on bigotry and xenophobia

The same was true of feelings about Islam and the fact that the U.S. population, in a few decades, will be mostly black, Latino and Asian, not white. In both cases, attitudes more antipathetic toward Islam and the country's increasing diversity were more in-line with Trump support, while people who thought Islam is not more violent than other religions and that increased diversity isn't a bad thing were colder toward Trump.

There isn't anyone who says that current immigration laws should be removed. They just want them enforced so if people were really as bigoted and xenophobic as you say then why isn't anyone proposing that we have zero immigration into this country?

Immigration laws are being enforced, to ‘argue’ otherwise is as ignorant as it is wrong.

That you believe they’re ‘not being enforced’ for subjective, partisan reasons doesn’t make it true.

Conservatives are, for the most part, reactionaries – they fear change, diversity, dissent, and expressions of individual liberty – these facts are settled, accepted, and beyond dispute.

And immigration is particularly frightening to most on the right, where nativism has been fundamental dogma of republicans for 150 years.

My, what bullshit thou hast wrought.
For one thing, a million H1-Bs can be serving coffee and not one is being sent home whilst the next batch is being dropped off at Kennedy Airport.

Any attempt to enforce immigration laws is usually hindered by liberals and anyone who thinks we should kick out illegals is deemed the most evil man in history. Would that apply to this guy?

Fear is the power plant of all right-wingers, their very core, their reason for existence.

Incorrect. A realistic understanding of the situation encourages us to be vigilant and to take steps that are common sense. Fear has nothing to do with it.

Fear has everything to do with it. Take away fear and paranoia and you'd have nothing but hatred left.

Do you have anything useful to post? Posting poorly conceived, rambling nonsense doesn't really further the conversation.

You can't possibly be this poorly informed. Have you really missed the congressional testimony on the topic?

At least try a little. How many millions should we import each year? What's your magic number?

You can deny that your life is driven by fear all you like, but we know it's true.

The world is a scary place so that makes the unknown, any unknown including change, a threat.

Support for Trump is based on common sense. What good does it do America to allow great numbers of world's poor and needy to come here, especially when we can't even afford to take care of our own poor and needy, including many veterans? Fear..... like not wanting young muslim refugees to come here in great numbers, especially with what's happening in Europe with their muslim refugees? Good reason for that kind of fear.
