White Trump voters that voted for Obama twice aren't racist, they are Emotion Voters

82. This is simply untrue. There are multiple threads now with proof of why it isn't true. Let me

summarize them for you:

First, the people in the rust belt for whom the economy was most important voted for Hillary. The people in the rust belt for whom other issues were most important voted for Trump. This means that the ones who voted for him ARE racist and sexist. It isn't about the economy for them, it isn't about the jobs, it's about the "other" and the power that the "other" has achieved.

Second, the narrative that "they voted for Obama before they voted for Trump" has no evidence in the numbers to back it up. It is more likely that they voted for Obama and then they didn't vote in this election. The likelihood is that this election fired up an entirely different segment of the "sometimes votes" group, and the segment we needed stayed home.

Third, that large number of people who didn't vote in this election are about to get schooled in Trump University. They are going to suffer, and they will be a little less ignorant going into the next election. They are where we need to work to get the voters we need.

If we go after what we are erroneously characterizing as the "rust belt white working class" which has been proven not to be any kind of bloc at all, and whose values are in direct opposition to ours, we will certainly lose the next election.
