Studies confirm: Trump voters were motivated by racial prejudice — not ‘economic anxiety’

It became conventional wisdom during the presidential campaign that Donald Trump supporters were motivated by bigotry, until the Republican candidate won and it became politically incorrect for Democrats to say that.

But the problem with that forgiving logic is, it’s just not really true, reported The Intercept.

“Whether it’s good politics to say so or not, the evidence from the 2016 election is very clear that attitudes about blacks, immigrants, and Muslims were a key component of Trump’s appeal,” Philip Klinkner, a political scientist at Hamilton College, told the website.

An entire genre of newspaper reports has profiled Trump supporters who regret their votes, now that programs they use are on the chopping block, or still back the president — but a common theme is their disdain for “illegal” immigrants and changing U.S. demographics.

Hey stupid.

That ape is not "high as shit". He is exhibiting signs of intelligence that you can only wish to possess. Its brought on the madness caused by being locked in a tiny cement cell for his whole life.

Educate yourself and stop being so mentally lazy that you can't even think through the simplest memes.
 
Real tough guys lol. Actually old white curmudgeon hater dupes. Know nothings. Ugly Americans. Dying off, especially in the age of info. Trump will be an Obama clone soon as he learns you dupes and Fox Rush etc etc and he himself are just FOS minions of greedy idiot GOP brainwashing lying billionaires...
WOW! What seems to be the problem? I guess the Russian and Trump collusion story has fallen apart and you guys are fit to be tied. :itsok:
Still being investigated. Sorry the real world doesn't run on FoxRush time, superdupe. -As related by Dana Perino, the only RWer on the Five who's not a sell out moron...perhaps the only GOPer on the propaganda machine who's not...oh Shep recently.
She's a neverTrumper, moron.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- you are the guy that mentioned PROGRAMS being on the chopping block BBen !!
 
And bigotry against the poor too. The dupes believe it's their fault they're poor, despite 50 years of the GOP party of the rich pandering to the rich and wrecking opportunity (expensive public u's even and college loans, cutting training programs etc etc...) and don't KNOW the rich aren't paying their fair share and are laughing all the way to the bank.


Define fair share.
Quite a bit higher than now (about 29% in ALL TAXES- same as the middle class), and enough so infrastructure and the nonrich can be invested in so we stop becoming a Reaganist banana republic.
We already pay far more than that, dumbass.
The OP, bumblebutt, seems a bit perturbed...

He is young and it's easy to get into his head.

What with living in his head and all, do you pay rent?

Until there is a study about how racist Democrats and Hillary supporters are, you can take this and all the other "studies" of this nature and shove it back up your ass.


We are all racist to some extent or another and there was a time when Dems were the racist party. That has changed. Repubs are now the party of the kkkd, white supremacists, alt-right, trailer trash garbage.

Fact is, its the RWNJs who openly blame people of color for their own failures.

Read this board and you can see that's true.

Projection kid.


Here's the comma you didn't know you needed.

,

Fact is, RWNJs whine constantly about the jobs Mexican and/or black workers take from them. They're too dumb to educate themselves so they can qualify for a better job so they blame others.

Oddly, they believe life would be better under a "strong" leader like Pooting. Again, they're just not smart enough to realize they wouldn't last 10 minutes under Pooting.

Most amazing is they actually believe drumpf is acting on their behalf. They have now seen he is not but they will lie for him until they can't lie anymore. Then they'll lie some more.

Its just a fact of life for chronic failures and very racist RWNJs.

Deal with it and get an education so you can rise above the failures on the right.

Or don't. Your choice. :rolleyes:
 
You guys just don't learn. Trump won because people are tired of this nonsense. People are tired of.bring accused of racism for opposing bad policies that have nothing to do with race. But instead of learning you double down on what lost you the election

WHOOOSH!!!

Right over your head.

As usual.

RWNJs are fine with paying for what they don't get. Otherwise, they would never vote for such criminals as Ronnie RayGun, Nixon. the Bushes and now, the King of the Krookds, King TrumpleThinSkin.

This country is less than 70% white and dropping.

That means that the racists in this country are at least 30% non-white and growing.

Which party defends non-white racists?
Only whites believe other races are inferior and are in a position to discriminate against them- the definition of racist. Just hating white racists doesn't make one a racist, hater dupe.

Now that's a crock of crapola.....have you ever been around 'minorities' in the REAL world? They too have that attitude toward other races. Pick one, any one and they think anyone else is dirt.

Problem is? Within every race, there are racists and there are those who aren't. Haters are everywhere, in all walks of life.

You have not learned that in trying to vote against a swamp, you guaranteed the smelliest, most corrupt swamp in our history.

When will you admit that?
 
The theorem that "racism" and/or "bigotry" was the cause of Trump's victory over Mrs. Clinton is crapola.


Looking at where Trump really beat the 2012 presidential results, it was small and medium sized cities, and rural areas, where he did better. He did worse in huge metropolises.

There is no correlation on race, Trump beat Romney's totals by 20 or 30 points regardless of whether a town had a large or small black population. The "theory" is just a way to try and delegitimize our president with the racism slur.

The way I see it, this 'president' needs to be delegitimized at every turn. He has turned this office into a disgraceful caricature. It isn't funny anymore. He is unfit and needs to go. Flyover country made a grave mistake.

Note figure 17 at the link, the top three income brackets 100,000+ pay 77.8% of all income taxes. You don't think thats enough?

I'll say it again.

We are all, to some extent, racist.

It is a natural state of being for weak human beings. We all seek out those who are most like us, either in appearance or education or in other other ways.

Repubs used to be the party that championed an end to racism. That has changed.

It is now Dems who want equality for all races, all life-styles, all sexual identities.

Its Repubs and RWNJs who want an end to equality of any kind.

If you feel threatened by this, that's your problem and honestly, I just don't care. You can choose to educate, grow and change yourself or you can whine. Your choice.

You are certainly entitled to your opinion on this, and I'm sure that Mrs. Clinton will give it another try in 4 years and we'll see what happens.

But unless she gets off the false narrative that people in Flyover Country are "racist""Deplorables clinging to the guns and religion" instead of serious individuals that need respect, the 2020 election results will look the same as last year's.

You haven't been keeping up.

I suggest you start paying attention.

For example, when The cheeto says he's signing an "executive order" to get miners their jobs back, you need to look behind the curtain.

When he says he's improving education choices, you know that's a red frag and really means he's doing just the opposite.

Lots more examples of that and all you need to do is

Republicans are the color blind fools, and Democrats are the "fuck whitey" party.

The fact that you continue believe that Democrats encompass progressive values and ideals despite blatantly being the "fuck whitey" party proves my point.

I do not support Hillary Clinton. Please refrain from deflecting.

Why do they deserve respect? Do they not do those very things? Are you trying to me that the stereotypes have no basis in reality? Seems a bit delusional, don't you think?
