I don't think you appreciate the basis of Trump's appeal.

It's ALL white grievance.

Trump's voters simply do not care about the rest of it. From the out-of-work coal miner, all the way up to Aaron Schlossberg. GOP tax policy, healthcare policy, and (most obviously) immigration policy is primarily defined by "what will help keep white power structures in place".

That's why, since the end of the Cold War, the conservatives have come to see Russia as an ally. They also define themselves primarily by whiteness. Poor white people will continue to vote for this stuff, even as they're robbed by it.

And the number of fence-sitters continues to decrease. As the nation polarizes, if you voted for Trump once, you're MORE likely to vote for him next time.
